Top pick: #6 (DURATION) - Lightly-raced son of "Grand Slam" raced evenly this past winter at Gulfstream in his first two outings and had some problems at the start in each. Shipped north, he also changed barns to Juan Guerrero and showed good early speed here facing sprcial weights three weeks ago. Working fast since, he races today with blinkers on and in a claimer for the first time. The top pick.
2nd pick: #1 (Bellhouse) - Gelding by "Forest Danger" has some early speed, draws the rail, and will cut-back in distance and go turf to dirt in this spot. He's been competitive in several starts facing tougher and should be in this from start to finish.
3rd pick: #5 (Lancaster Gully) - Lightly raced, he's shown good speed in a pair of starts facing special weights with one on the Fair Grounds dirt and the latest on the Woodbine "poly." He has a fine local drill since shipping here and runs "tagged" for the first time.
