Top pick: #4 (SCORPION WARRIOR) - Sharp debut saw this $150K son of "Dixie Union" race wide after breaking from an outside post and rally to finish second to "Majestic City" who came back to win a stakes next out. Colt is working fast for this and is the likely winner with a "clean" break.
2nd pick: #6 (Hurry Home Clover) - He broke from a tough inside post in hie debut and never seemed comfortable while racing just off the lead. Son of "Bellamy Road" tired during the stretch run and has since come-back with a pair of nice drills. Moves off the inside and trainer Pete Miller (21% second time out) will remove his blinkers. Threat at a square price.
3rd pick: #8 (I'll Have Another) - "Firster" is working fast for his debut, is in a good barn (Doug O'Neill), and Rosario is aboard first crack. Trainer/jockey team is a strong one, winning at a solid 24% rate (24 for 117) over the past 18 months.
