Top pick: #1 (YOURHONORANDGLORY) (2-1) - At press time, gelding is still part of a Patty Farro trained entry. Veteran is racing first off a claim (18%) and a subsequent two month break. Fits at the level and distance and can take this if ready.
2nd pick: #5 (Street Slang) (7-2) - Speedy sort tired badly last out facing tougher in the slop, and will be dropping back down in class. He's three for six on this surface and is brought back quickly for this attempt. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (True Awakening) (9-5) - Lightly raced and well-bred, he's won three in a row, the latest fresh off a Cathal Lynch claim. Speed/stalker is in the three horse win mix.
4th pick: #1a (Courtroom Drama) (2-1) - He's coupled in the wagering with "Yourhonorandglory" and is making back-to-back starts for the first time since late fall. He showed little last out, but it was in the slop facing better. Drops and is a threat with his best.
