Top pick: #6 (SHY HUMOR) (5-1) - Speedy sort is one of two entered by trainer Jeremiah Englehart and the pair race uncoupled. This is gelding's first off a positive barn change and Englehart (31% with new arrivals) adds blinkers (33%).
2nd pick: #7 (The Kenosha Kid) (8-5) - Another going off a trainer change and it will be this gelding's first start since late Dec. Speed/stalker drops into a claimer and should be involved every step.
3rd pick: #3 (Stormy Freud) (6-1) - The second of the Englehart pair, he's shown a hint of speed facing better in his two appearances asnd runs today off a 4 1/2 month layoff. Basrn drops him way down and adds blinkers.
4th pick: #2 (G W's Hammer) (10-1) - Home-bred runs third off a two month break and he showed some improvement last out. He breaks just off the rail, and can factor at a square price.
5th pick: #5 (King Keene) (6-1) - He's a "bit" player in here as gelding hasn't yet cracked the exacta in a dozen starts. However, he comes off a third-place finish a week ago and could get a small slice at a square price.
