Top pick: #1 (POP THE CORK) - Nice debut saw him have some traffic issues down the stretch and when clear he rallied to finish 3rd of 12, beaten three lengths. The O'Neill barn brings him back in 17 days, moves him to a "poly" surface, and he draws the rail.
2nd pick: #5 (Jay's Firetruck) - Debuting colt has a steady work-tab on view and they're all local. In the barn of John Sadler and he wins at a 22% rate first time out.
3rd pick: #7 (Traweek) - Gelding showed excellent early speed last out and stayed on until the last 1/16th when he tired to finish a close-up 5th. A repeat of that effort will have him in this from start to finish.
