Top pick: #6 (CHEROKEE FOCUS) - Races second off an Auwarter claim and drops back down to the purchase price after an even effort facing tougher. The top pick.
2nd pick: #5 (B Murray) - Speedy and he returns this afternoon from a seven-week layoff. He's missed by a "neck" in his last pair at this tag and is a serious win threat if ready for his best.
3rd pick: #7 (Seeking Flight) - Lightly raced five-year-old has been away a long time (10 months) but has fired fresh in the past. Race drew tough for this tag and he's another who'll need his best for a shot at the win.
4th pick: #1 (Cudjo) - Veteran has lost the early speed he had at one time, but rallied last out at Aqueduct to finish third at their bottom tag ($7500). Draws the rail and runs third off the bench. Maybe for the exotics with a late rally.
