Top pick: #11 (PRIMED AND READY) - He's scratched in from the also-eligible list and this gelding has finished second in all three appearances. Stalker has worked since his last start and draws a nice outside post for his style.
2nd pick: #7 (Lico) - Colt has shown fine early speed in his first two starts and has a bullet 3-furlong work a week ago. Trainer Kristin Mulhall will remove his blinkers and is a threat at a square price.
3rd pick: #2 (Ukraine James) - He showed good early speed when debuting, facing special weights and will drop into a claimer and have blinkers added for his second outing. Working fine and Garret Gomez is back on the re-ride.
4th pick: #8 (True Again) - He was away slowly in his debut after breaking from the rail and raced evenly once in stride. Moves off the rail, had a fine work four days ago, and is a threat at a big price.
