Premium Pick
(# 9) LHOTSE QUALITY - Goes from turf to dirt for the Dick Dutrow barn. Gelding also drops into a claimer for the first time since his debut run in May of 2006, which is the day these connections claimed him. Has speed, draws a good post to use it and is working sharply for this try. Should get his maiden diploma.

(# 10) Motor City Papa - Another who's dropping into a claimer, this one for the first time ever. Has speed and if he wants the lead, the top pick should let him go to avoid a speed battle. He's more likely to come back to him.

(# 1) Housebid - Ran well to finish second in latest, but figure earned was low, as race was a rather slow one. Should sit on the rail, save ground and see how the pace shakes out.
