Top pick: #7 (PATRICK'S JOY) - He takes a big drop in price, goes turf to dirt, and runs in a sprint for the first time. Home-bred gelding by "Kitten's Joy" has been showing early speed in all his starts facing better and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Sulleyman Time) - Lightly raced and improving, he rallied to finish second here last out when dropped to this level for the first time. In a good barn, and believe he's the main danger.
3rd pick: #14 (l L Birdwell) - He ships from Arlington where he's been racing poorly, but last winter he was in good form at Oaklawn running on real dirt. Can factor today at a big price.
