Top pick: #2 (MR D'ORO) (6-5) - He's missed by a "head" in his last pair, both facing a bit tougher, one each at Penn National and Monmouth. Speedy and well-bred, 4-year-old colt drops to a new low off a three month break and should have little trouble against this group if ready.
2nd pick: #3 (Corinthiano) (5-1) - Gelding drops way down in price and trainer Ed Caramori will switch him from turf to dirt and shorten him up in distance. All of this runner's success has come on the grass, but at this reduced price he can factor on the dirt.
3rd pick: #1 (Put It Back Tiger) (4-1) - Home-bred by "Put It Back" returns off a pair of layoffs and one-run type breaks from the rail. He's from a good barn (Ed Plesa Jr.) and is a stretch threat for a small slice.
