Top pick: #1 (OLD FASHIONED) - Race is his to lose on paper. Colt continues to improve and he returned recently to win the "Southwest" stakes on this surface off a four-month break. Continues to "sizzle" in the mornings and the rail post seals the deal.
2nd pick: #7 (Captain Cherokee) - Enters this razor sharp, having won his last pair since his trainer (Steve Asmussen)stretched him out in distance. Tries a stakes today and will need to continue his improvement.
