Top pick: #1 (MIRO) - Sophomore runner from the barn of Bill Mott is dropped into a high-priced claimer after a couple of big efforts against allowance company. Has the rail, a big class edge, and Mott's main-rider Kent Desormeaux is back aboard. Tough to beat in this spot.
2nd pick: #7 (Austons Sure Cure) - Takes a big drop in class after not being able to get the job done vs. tougher. That's a good move by this barn (Dale Romans) and he has a shot from just off the lead.
