Top pick: #1 (SHARPTON) (3-1) - Even though this race is not a maiden contest none of the seven entered has yet to win. This colt is bred for speed, is working fast, and breaks from the rail. Debuting son of "Rocky Bar" can take this with an alert start.
2nd pick: #2 (Hawkeye Gold) (6-1) - Of those that have raced this gelding has shown the best early speed. He was wide in a stakes last out and draws a much better post while taking a big drop.
3rd pick: #5 (Late Rally) (6-1) - He tired badly last out after showing early speed in his first in blinkers. Colt was 1 1/2 lengths in front of "Hawkeye" last out and can be a factor again this afternoon.
4th pick: #3 (Prospectors Blues) (5-1) - Gelding by "Benton Creek" exits the same last race as both "Hawkeye" and "Rally" and finished just in front of each. Must be left in the same race exotic bet mix.
