Top pick: #10 (K THIRTY EIGHT) (4-1) - Un-raced for 11 months, gelding was competitive in all three starts at that time. Working fast for his return and he can take this at a square price if ready.
2nd pick: #1 (D'Church) (6-5) - The probable heavy favorite, he finished a pace-pressing second when debuting here on Feb. 21. Has the rail, has worked since, and he's a strong win candidate at a short price.
3rd pick: #8 (Nardo) (4-1) - On the sidelines since late May, colt finished second here that day in his debut. Working well for his return and he earned a good figure that day for a 2-year-old.
4th pick: #4 (The Last Express) (6-1) - One of three that are debuting, he's in a sharp barn (Rich Baltas) and looks well prepared for his first start. Barn had a first time starter win here the other day.
