Top pick: #8 (SILVER SLUGGER) - Improving sort defeated tougher last out going shorter and he'll be stretching-out this afternoon for a capable barn (Bob Bailes). Gelding by Silver Train has good positional speed and finishes strongly. The top pick.
2nd pick: #6 (Round Trip Lover) - He defeated the top pick by a neck a month ago going 7/8ths and that was his third solid start since adding blinkers. Has excellent early speed and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Go Maire Tu) - Races off nearly a two-month break and this home-bred by Congrats showed both speed and talent in several starts kast year. His two sub-par outings came in his only starts going "long" and that's what he'll attempt to do today off the layoff.
