Top pick: #7 (SERGEANT KEITH) - He's finished in second place in four straight races including a pair at this level and distance. Brings a stalking style to the contest and he should be right off of presumed pace-setter "Nando". The top choice.
2nd pick: #2 (Nando) - Makes only his third lifetime trip to the post. Speedy colt by "Thunderello" easily broke his maiden in his debut, then was involved in a fast/contested pace in a starter-allowance in his most recent. Drops into a claimer and draws the rail. Win contender.
3rd pick: #3 (Zirlancelot) - Comes out of the same race as "Nando", and in fact closed from well-back to finish second that day. In career best shape at present, he may not receive the great pace set-up that he received last out.
