Top pick: #5 (DISTINCTIVE ALIBI) - Speedy gelding set a fast pace and tired to finish third last out racing for this $7500 tag. Effort came off a 50-day freshening and trainer Scott Lake has him nicely spotted right back. The main speed and the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #7 (Jazzking) - He exits the same race as "Alibi" and he rallied past him in the last 100 yards to edge him out of the place spot. Gelding likes this surface (7-1-4-0) and will be closing fast.
3rd pick: #4 (Warrensburg) - Racing into shape following a pair of layoffs, gelding ships back from Penn National where he rallied to finish fourth last out. 4-year-old ran a big race here at this level in his previous start and is a threat again today.
