Top pick: #5 (VALUABLE SILVER) - Nice looking win last out saw him break sharply, track early, and take off when asked to report hime by just over 4 lengths to clear the 3l condition. Effort was his best since coming back from a six month absence, and he can upset the presumed chalk.
2nd pick: #3 (College Grad) - The probable favorite, he hails from the Ness barn and will be seeking his third in a row in this spot. Speed/stalker has won 3-of-6 starts on real dirt and will be in this from gate to wire.
3rd pick: #9 (Home Field) - He won at this price and distance two weeks ago to get his third win and that score came off an 8 1/2 month layoff. Has back class, a sharp work since, and one-run type should get a fast pace to rally into.
4th pick: #7 (Singingwithangels) - Gelding chased, bid, and weakened last out racing at this level in his first start in 3 1/2 months. More than capable of impacting today with just a slight move forward.
