Top pick: #12 (STRONG COMMITMENT) - Beautifully bred, lightly raced, improving, and in a good barn ("Shug McGaughey). Nice post for his style and thisd distance and the horse to beat from "off the pace."
2nd pick: #3 (Moon Town) - Sharp maiden win last out in his second lifetime run and he could be a runner of stakes quality. Gets an "acid" test this afternoon as he tries fellow winners for the first time.
3rd pick: #10 (Coach Gravy) - He made a premature move from well-back to reach the front last out before tiring late to finish third. Race was his first backk off a long layoff and should be much sharper today for the top barn of Mike Maker.
