Top pick: #7 (ROUGH SHOD HEIR) - Professional stalker has a lot of speed to track, and if he can stay close early to this group, he has a solid shot at running them down late. The top pick in a good betting race.
2nd pick: #4 (Pretty Boy Forest) - The main speed he exits a win at Penn National in what was the best race of his career. Effort came in his second start for trainer Scott Lake and he can keep them going for awhile.
3rd pick: #2 (Holy Canyon) - He's raced well at this level and distance in his last pair after facing tougher all year. Has the rail and leading rider Carmouche. Contender.
