(# 5) PAPUA - Drops to his lowest tag ever. Former stakes runner has slipped with advancing age. But is still dangerous against a field of $5000 platers.

(# 4) Weston Field - Veteran ran a good race last out around two turns, and has had over a month to recover. Cutsback in distance today and has an excellent shot at the win. Would key the top two picks in the win position.

(# 2) Valentino D'Oro - Some speed in his corner, and a good post to use it from. Has picked it up a bit of late, and has the talent to stick it out from start to finish. Several in here don't have much chance so he should be part of the finish.

(# 3) Sir Elite - Has enough ability to hang around and maybe sneak into the bottoms of the exotics.
