Top pick: #8 (CEASE) - Lightly-raced gelding by "War Front" looked super here when breaking his maiden at this 9-furlong trip in a "switched" contest just 15 days ago. In a very good barn (Al Stall Jr.) and I like the fact that they bring him back quickly. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #2 (Katz My Song) - Another who looked sharp in a maiden win here earlier in the meet and he did so in fast time going 7 panels. Race was his first in almost seven months and trainer Todd Pletcher has had him work twice since. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Rein King) - The main speed will be stretching out off a sprint race just nine days ago. Effort was his first in seven months and he'll take them as far as he can.
