Top pick: #8 (AKKADIAN) - Excellent debut saw this colt by "Tiznow" away slowly in a race down the hill and rally to finish second. He's working nicely for this and the Julio Canani barn will stretch him out and run him around two-turns. He's bred to love this trip and the race is loaded with speed types. The top selection.
2nd pick: #1 (Popular Cause) - Looks like the speed of the speed and he has the inside post and Pat Valenzuela. Son of "Orientate" will take them as far as he can, and at a nice price.
3rd pick: #3 (Parable) - He missed by a "head" last out and that came facin non-conditioned winners. Improving and this gelded son of "A.P. Indy" moves back in with maidens in this spot.
