Top pick: #3 (LIEUTENANT SEANY O) (7-2) - Gelding is dropping down in class and shortening up in distance. He's better going longer, but at this reduced level he can rally to win with what looks like a fast and/or contested pace in front of him.
2nd pick: #2 (Ten Items Or Less) (10=1) - One of several runners who have sharp early speed, he moves up in class in his first off a Chris Englehart claim. Since coming off a brief freshening in late March this 4yo has gone 6-1-4-0. He should be involved every step at a square price.
3rd pick: #1 (Carolinian) (6-1) - New York is another taking a big drop and is racing third off almost a half-years vacation. Speed/stalker draws the rail and finished second here last August when still a maiden.
4th pick: #5 (Denzel) (4-1) - One run type is another taking a drop, and he's also cutting back a bit in distance. Capable against this group, especially if a pace duel develops.
