Premium Pick

Top pick: #5 (NICKEL PICKLE) - Capable of defeating tougher last year, his connections (trainer Mike Maker) bring him back in a soft spot off a 2 1/2 month freshening. It's closing day and many stables drop runners seeking a win and maybe a claim. Runner wins this with his "A" game.

2nd pick: #8 (Bordeaux Bandit) - Drops seeking a winning level for the Nick Zito barn. Sharp earlier in his career, he hasn't returned the same runner after a short vacation, thus today's big drop in price.

3rd pick: #10 (Skim Scam) - Tries two-turns today off a decent effort sprinting in his first try on this surface. Could impact here at a square price.
