Top pick: #2 (ARCTIC CODE) (5-2) - Lightly-raced colt has some early speed and last out finished fourth here at this level and distance. He breaks just off the rail and can take this from on the lead or from a stalking spot.

2nd pick: #6 (Sudden Rumor) (3-1) - He's going third off a 4 1/2 month layoff and will be trying a two-turn distance for the first time. Capable barn (Phil D'Amato) removes this 3-year-old's blinkers and it's of note that gelding has taken money in three of his four starts.

3rd pick: #1 (This Cat's Awesome) (7-2) - Another that's stretching out and he'd racing on the grass for the first time. Colt has early speed, the rail post, and should be involved from start-to-finish.
