Top pick: #5 (POTTHAST) (2-1) - Colt by top grass sire "Scat Daddy" is on two debuting from the hot barn of Graham Motion and the pair race uncoupled. Working steadily at Delaware Park before shipping north and several of the drills are of the bullet variety. The top pick.

2nd pick: #1a (Lamontage) (2-1) - The field's most experienced maiden, this speedy filly is also the only female entered. I don't normally endorse members of the opposite sex when in against males, but this grey daughter of "Congrats" has been competitive in all her starts (3-0-2-1) and is a win candidate this afternoon

3rd pick: #4 (Easy Comparison) (4-1) - The second of the Motion runners, he appears to have worked with his barn-mate (#5 "Potthast") recently at Delaware and has been beaten by him in each. However, son of "Street Sense" must be left in the mix.

4th pick: #7 (Path Dependent) (15-1) - I don't believe he's a win candidate, but this debuting gelding by international stallion "Henrythenavigator" is working steadily and may grab a minor award at a big price.
