Top pick: #8 (SCARIFF ISLAND) - Barn (Dale Romans) is doing well here early in the meet and it looks like their runners are all primed for big efforts. Away a long time, colt will be going third and improved in his second back. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #11 (Cunningham) - Drops, draws a good post at this distance, comes off a good effort facing tougher, and is brought back quickly for this (one week). He's a win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Bk's Clearance Isle) - Has a lot of minor awards as compared to wins. He's in shape and a nice use in the same race exotics.
