Top pick: #5 (RONALD REGAN) - Colt from the first crop of the speedy "Henny Hughes" cost a cool $700K but trainer Larry Jones did not race him at age two. Three-year-old ran evenly in his debut here June 27th and finished third, 3 1/2 lengths back of today's rival "Storm Catlilly". Barn brings him back quickly, adds lasix, and think he can upset the presumed "chalk."
2nd pick: #4 (Storm Catlilly) - The probable favorite has run second in both his starts, has fine early speed, and makes back to back starts for the first time. Almost put him on top.
3rd pick: #2 (The Director) - Four-year-old hasn't raced since Jan. 30th of 2010 at Gulfstream when he finished second to future G1 winner "First Dude". Training fine for his come-backer, he could factor here if 100% off the 17 1/2 month layoff
