Top pick: #5 (JOHNNYPUMP) - Gelding by "Jump Start" has some early speed and will be dropping down to a new low off a eight month absence. Training fine for his return and he can take this if ready.
2nd pick: #3 (Fu Pegs Baby) - The probable favorite also drops to a new low and has been competitive in four straight contests that wer "washed off" the turf. Strong factor today down the stretch.
3rd pick: #8 (L C Sleepy) - Runs off a 7-week break, has a new trainer (Pat Kelly), drops way down, and is working nicely. New barn is pulling out "all the stops" as they also add blinkers. Win candidate.
