Top pick: #4 (PRIMAL LOVE) (4-1) - One run type raced evenly last out when checking in fourth at this level & distance March 24. He'd been much sharper in his previous pair, and strong finisher should get a fast and/or contested pace to rally into.
2nd pick: #6 (Baby Face Aiden) (8-1) - Speedy sort tired last out after setting a quick & pressured pace facing $16K "open" 3l claimers. It was his first off a Mike Pino claim, and this 5yo had gone 4-1-1-2 prior to that since late Dec. Price play.
3rd pick: #7 (Early One Morning) (5-2) - Gelding has yet to run a poor race and enters this off three straight solid performances at this level. Stalker is the probable favorite and is an obvious in candidate.
4th pick: #5 (Berger Lane) (3-1) - Very lightly raced home-bred by "Cat Thief" has been sharp in all three starts (3-1-2-0), and last out in early August he finished second here at this level. Colt has a flexible style, is working fast, and is a major threat if ready.
