Top pick: #2 (EL DUBAI) - Improving and comes into this off a pair of strong second-place finishes at this price-tag. There's lots of potential spped to chase and that shoul lead to the maiden win.
2nd pick: #4 (Matoolismon) - In a very good barn (Bob Reid) gelding was well-bet in a pair last summer and drops into a claimer for the first time. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Megagold) - Races off a long layoff (last May) and has a pair of nice recent drills at Aqueduct. Threat from off the pace if ready.
4th pick: #7 (Mint's Turn) - In the top barn of Ed Auwarter and he has some finishing punch in a race with a lot of speed. Could be a late threat at a big price.
