Top pick: #1 (TRIPENDICULAR) - Colt by "Tiznow" is brought back in six days by trainer Terri Pompay after a disasterous race going long on the turf. He broke through the gate prior to the start and only showed brief early speed while seemingly not interested at all in the grass. Most of his dirt sprints are solid and he has blinkers added and draws the rail.
2nd pick: #2 (Greyfriars) - Speedy and lightly raced, he's run well in both local starts facing a bit tougher and trainer Juan Serey drops him down and gets some weight off with an apprentice jockey signed on.
3rd pick: #8 (Redhotlion) - Colt finished an even fourth here racing for $20K two weeks ago. A hot barn (Bruce Alexander) drops him down and this son of "Lion Heart" should get a fast/and or contested pace to rally into.
