Top pick: #8 (MESSA NERA) - Ran a better race in his last at the Spa. then it looks. Had the inside going seven-furlongs in a large field (11), moved up several times but could not gain late. Race was his first in three months, and he should be much fitter today. The horse to beat.

2nd pick: #3 (Analyze Cat) - Broke slowly in his latest at the Spa. Race was his first in 10 months and he may have needed it badly. Drops into a claimer today and gets the addition of lasix for trainer Bruce Levine. Trainer is one of the best second time back (35%).

3rd pick: #7 (Run Lightening Run) - He's finished in the money in his last three starts, two of which have come at this distance and level on this track. Contender from mid-pack.
