Top pick: #4 (DOC CEBU) (4-1) - Well-bred colt runs first off a Dave Jacobson claim (25%), and he'll shorten him up in distance and bring him back a month later at the purchase price.
2nd pick: #1 (One Smokin Cat) (7-2) - He has some early speed, and was competitive two back racing here at this level. Colt ran evenly in his latest, and moves to the rail. New York-bred should be involved from start-to-finish.
3rd pick: #9 (M P Ruckus) (5-1) - Price play tired last out after being involved in a three-horse speed duel, but had been sharp in five of six outings prior to that. His early speed in this field is a big plus, and Jersey-bred is a win candidate.
4th pick: #5 (G W's Hammer) (8-1) - Gelding broke his maiden at the tough Saratoga meet last August, and hasn't been competitive in a trio of subsequent starts. 4yo runs second off almost a two month break, and raced evenly facing a bit tougher in his return appearance.
