Top pick: #4 (YARDEE) - Delaware invader makes his first local appearance and more importantly his first off a positive trainer change to Doug Johnson. Stalker finished second two back at Penn National, then tired at Delaware right at the end of their meet. Has a local work, leading rider Deshawn Parker is aboard, and son of "Grand Reward" is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #2 (Mountain A P) - Speedy colt finished a distant second last out at this price after setting the pace. While no match for the winner, he was 9 1/2 lengths clear of the show horse. Lasix is added and this son of "A.P. Warrior" is an obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #10 (Whys Best Guy) - He showed just a touch of speed here nine days ago before weakening to finish a well-beaten eighth of 10. Once you get past the top pair this field is pretty weak, so a small slice is possible.
