Top pick: #5 (MEADOW ROAD) - He just missed by a nose facing a bit tougher here last out in his first off a Doug O'Neill claim. Son of "Dixie Union" has plenty of early speed, but can also stalk if necessary. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #6 (Spurr Road) - First timer from the Baffert barn and this colt is half to 6 other winners including Middlesex Drive (7 wins $746K). Working fast (like all from Baffert) and the "Hall of Fame" trainer wins at a 31% first time out. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Competent) - Only 2 1/2 lengths back of "Meadow Road" last out and this colt had a poor start that day. Drops for the Sahadi barn and has a shot at a square price.
