Top pick: #5 (SHEDIAK) - French-bred was highly thought of at one time and last out he finished a fast-closing second here at this level and distance in his best effort in this country. Rounding to form and the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #6 (Bring it Home ) - He raced evenly in his latest and checked-in 1 1/2 lengths off the top choice. Consistent gelding is a win candidate if the top pick isn't up to the task.
3rd pick: #7 (Lucky Primo) - Had some promise earlier in his career, but has had his racing days compromised by injuries and layoffs. He moves back to the turf following a second-place finish last out at this level on the main-track. Contender.
