Top pick: #5 (NOBLE COURAGE) - Colt will be making his 3rd start back from a 7 month layoff and he ran a strong 2nd last out in his best effort to date. Drops a peg and draws outside the other speed. Very tough to defeat.
2nd pick: #1 (Standing Posse) - Away slowly in his latest, he rushed up early and held well until the end. Top pick only defeated him by 2 lengths in that race. Working well and an "alert" start is a must.
3rd pick: #4 (Taleitlikeitaint) - Returns from a 3 1/2 month layoff and his first go-round at this game. Raced evenly against better in his series of 4 races, and he's working well for this start. Runs today in a career "soft" spot.
