Top pick: #7 (LEGAL CITIZEN) - Speedy colt will drop down to race in a claimer for the first time and also will shorten -up in distance for trainer Steve Asmussen. He tired badly last out on a sloppy surface and can take this if the track is fast.
2nd pick: #8 (Shifty Sheriff) - Colt takes on winners for the first time following an easy maiden win last out racing here for $20K. In a winning barn (Bret Calhoun) and the horse he beat last out came back to get his own first victory next out. Lightly raced son of "Posse" is a win candidate right back.
3rd pick: #11 (Wilson River) - He rallied to finish 4th last out facing $10k foes in his first start in almost 7 months and will stretch-out a bit in distance tonight. Has talent, is in a winning barn, and is a stretch threat.
4th pick: #10 (Chiefy Look) - Another who broke his maiden recently and this gelding by "Forest Wildcat" did so off a 3 1/2 month break. Speed/stalker must be left in the mix.
