Top pick: #5 (SEVEN SHOOTER) - Texas shipper chased and tired facing tougher in his local debut and takes a significant drop today for trainer Phil Aristone. Has the best early speed and before coming here he'd won two in a row at Lone Star Park at this distance. The top selection.
2nd pick: #3 (Balian) - Trainer Keith Lebarron cuts this gelding back in distance in his second off a recent claim. He's won at this price in the past and is a strong win factor this afternoon.
3rd pick: #8 (Back in Baltimore ) - Speed/stalker races third off a layoff and finished close-up last out at Penn National at this tag and trip. Has a nice outside post and is a win contender.
