Top pick: #3 (PLANTAGENET) - Colt by "Indian Charlie" cost $210,000 and debuts for a $10K tag. 4yo is in a very good first out barn (Cathal Lynch 27%) and he four fine works showing. Meets a weak field in his debut abd Lynch's main rider Angel Arroyo is aboard.
2nd pick: #8 (He Has Passion) - Very speedy colt has been unable to hold on after leading into the stretch of his last three starts, but doesn't face much other visible pace this afternoon. He'll be sent hard and could prove tough to catch in this spot.
3rd pick: #5 (R Blackjack) - He does have some speed and he's the lone runner taking a big drop in price. He finished a solid 3rd two back racing for $25K, but ran poorly in his latest at the same price. Dangerous and a win candidate.
