Top pick: #6 (DAMAGING DOUG) - Grey colt showed good early speed in his debut here at this level going 6 furlongs April 19th and he held his ground until mid-stretch where he tired to be beaten 8 lengths. Three-year-old by "Wiseman's Ferry" has a fast work since and can take this group from start to finish.
2nd pick: #3 (Knocked Out) - Pimlico shipper has some early speed and will drop back into a claimer this afternoon. He's tired in his last pair facing tougher and earlier this year finished second on this surface facing $12.5K runners. Grey gelding by "Two Punch" should be in it from gate to wire.
3rd pick: #4 (Bigbossman) - Away a step slow here April 25th facing special weights, he essentially just "ran around the track" that afternoon in his first start off an 8 month layoff. Lightly raced, he drops down and last August in his debut this colt by "Cuvee" ran a close-up third on this surface in his debut.
