Top pick: #3 (ANWAR SADAT) - Races second back off a long layoff, has fine early speed, and runs today in a career soft spot. Well-bred gelding chased and tired last out on the turf in his first start off a 9 1/2 month layoff. In the red hot barn of Rudy Rodriguez and trainer cuts his price in half and switches him back to the dirt. The top pick.
2nd pick: #2 (All My Chips) - Continues to show some improvement and last out set the pace against slightly tougher going 7 furlongs before tiring late. Drops a notch, shortens up a furlong, and has two recent sharp works on this surface. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Seren Trippity) - He's been competitive in most of his starts facing slightly better and brings a good closing kick to the contest. Gelding finished fourth last out facing better on the grass and will drop in price and switch back to the dirt. He'd love a fast pace to close into.
