Top pick: #8 (GEORGE'S GOLD) - Gelding has the best early speed of this group and has been tiring facing tougher in all four starts. Drops down from $15K to race at the local bottom and his speed make him the top pick.
2nd pick: #9 (Oh So Lo) - Hawthorne shipper rallied last out to finish sixth, beaten just under 5 lengths and did so despite being "bumped" at the start. Draws outside of the speed and he should get a quick pace to rally into.
3rd pick: #7 (Note For Ransom) - Races off a positive trainer change to John Booker and this gelding just ran six days ago at Churchill Downs. Leading rider DeShawn Parker is aboard and he's won with 12-of-29 mounts when riding for Booker over the past 18 months.
