Top pick: #2 (STORM PROOF) - Gelding lost his rider last out so race is obviously a "toss." Previous run saw him finish a pace-setting second at this price-tag after setting very fast splits for the level. This 5-furlong sprint looks like his for the taking and he can win this in the first two furlongs by sprinting clear. The top pick
2nd pick: #7 (Indy Knight) - Well-bred gelding has become a much better runner since a trainer switch to Cathal Lynch last fall. Stalker has raced well in two of three at this level but was easily handled by the top pick (beaten by 9 lengths) two back. Exotiocs factor.
3rd pick: #6 (Mightymustardseed) - Gelding by "Lion Heart" finished fifth of six last out facing tougher after racing close-up to a fast pace. Runs today third off a layoff and his price is halved. Contender.
