Top pick: #3 (NO INFLUENCE) - Claimed out of his debut by trainer Ed Plesa for $12.5K he brought him back 26 days later at the same price, added blinkers, and he responded with a rallying 2nd place finish at this mile trip. Looks set for his diploma.
2nd pick: #5 (Wind of Heaven) - Home-bred by "Artie Schiller" takes a big drop off almost a 4 month layoff and will race on real dirt for the first time. Colt has shown good speed in his turf and "poly" starts and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Miami Rockstar) - Another who's running on conventional dirt for the first time and this $125,000 son of "Tale of he Cat" drops to a new low in price. Goes turf to dirt and makes back-to-back starts for the first time and if he has any ability he'll show it here.
