Top pick: #1 (WILLY ELLIOT) - Lightly-raced son of "Tiznow" is the main speed of this group and the rail is usually the place to be at Monmouth. In the Pletcher barn, colt raced wide and evenly last out at Keeneland and will drop down and move back to real dirt today.
2nd pick: #3 (D'Marin) - 4-year-old gelding by "More Than Ready" broke his maiden at Gulfstream in late January and was claimed by trainer Scott Volk that day for $12,500. Working well for some time now and Volk points towards this meet (he has 5 entered today). If the top pick fails, he's the likely winner.
