Top pick: #5 (DANCE WITH MONARCH) - Grey colt by derby hero "Monarchos" raced evenly at this level in his first local appearance and he was virtually eliminated that day by a poor getaway. Drops into a claimer for the first time today and he'll be tough to beat.
2nd pick: #7 (Skorton) - Speed is always dangerous on this inner surface and this gelding some to bring to the party. Home-bred is trying a distance beyond 6 furlongs for the first time and should be involved from start to finish.
3rd pick: #3 (Tapinator) - Grey son of "Tapit" showed a bit of imprivement last out and is another going turf to dirt and dropping into a claimer. Think he can be competitive in this spot at a nice price.
