Premium Pick

Top pick: #10 (COMPLETE BOW) - Bet heavily last out at this price and distance gelding by "Victory Gallop" had a terrible start and ran evenly once in stride. Good small barn (Lilith Boucher) brings him back quickly and removes his blinkers. The top pick in a wide open affair.

2nd pick: #14 (Congrats Duke) - He also had trouble at the start last out when he was favored and ran evenly to finish 6th of 12, beaten just under 5 lengths. Drops to a new low and is a win candidate if he avoids a wide trip from this tough outside post.

3rd pick: #5 (Scheming) - Speedy gelding did not start until he was almost 6 but has good early speed and trainer Doug Fout will drop this home-bred down a bit in price. Runs off a 2 1/2 month break and his speed makes him a big threat.

4th pick: #3 (Illustrisimo) - Price play finished 5th of 13, beaten jst under 3 lengths here at this price in a grass sprint just 8 days ago and trainer Mike Caraman brings him back quickly and stretches him out in distance. Can do some damage today.
