Top pick: #4 (MICHAEL'S JILA) - Very fast gelding takes a sizeable drop for his third start and that may enable him to get an uncontested lead for the first time. Can win this if that's the case.
2nd pick: #1 (Wanted For Cash) - He cuts-back off a pair of longer races that should have him "fit as a fiddle" for this cut-back in distance. Drops and draws the rail. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Meet Me At Wilsons) - Firster is in one of the most under-rated barns in the country (Mike Chambers). Sophomore colt is working sharply for his debut and Chambers has won with five of his last 10 that were making their first start.
