Top pick: #1 (BELLAMY'S BOSS) - 3yo raced well at Monmouth last fall and runs today off of some fine drills off track and for a new trainer (Bill Phipps). Has the rail and is the choice for the win.
2nd pick: #9 (Fifth District) - Gelding by "Sweetsouthernsaint" finished 2nd here last out at this distance and that came off a 7 week break. He's worked well since and is a major player in this spot.
3rd pick: #4 (High Bar) - Good barn (Chad Stewart) has him running for the 3rd time at this meet and moves him back to the dirt this afternoon. His main-track debut was encouraging and he's a stretch threat today.
