Top pick: #1 (JOANNE'S PAULUS) - Speedy gelding is coming off a narrow loss in his latest and he draws the rail which will help his overall chances. Accustomed to facing better, he's been sharp in his trio of starts at this $5000 level.
2nd pick: #4 (Grandpa's Brat) - Veteran stalker/speed type will be making his second start for the Lake barn. Solid second place finish off the claim two back and he is a serious win contender. I almost made him the top pick and they should be bet that way.
3rd pick: #6 (Bentrovhto) - Rallied late last out to get up for third in his first ever at this pricetag. He has a lot of back class and may be entering back into some semblance of his old form.
