Top pick: #4 (G POLI) - Finger Lakes shipper has good early speed, is lightly raced this year, and looks for his 4th win a row in this spot. In shape and in a good barn, he'll be very tough to beat if he brings his New York form with him.
2nd pick: #8 (Vy Vy Vy) - Gelding raced evenly here nine days ago at this level in his first start back off a two month layoff. Good barn brings him back quickly for this and he runs at price and distance that he's done well at in the past. Draws a good post and is a threat with his best.
3rd pick: #2 (Vintage Dave) - In-shape colt cuts back in distance for this after a pair of even efforts going longer. In a good barn, and this son of "Distorted Humor" has three wins in his past at this distance. Can contend here.
