Premium Pick

Top pick: #8 (CROSSING THE LINE) - Solid runner when fit, but this 8-year-old has a myriad of physical problems that have limited him to 15 starts, but he's won eight of those. He's slid down the ladder of late, but this is where he fits now after having been a stakes winner earlier in his career. Likes the surface and New Zealand-bred comes off a sharp effort last out. Old timer can run these down late.

2nd pick: #1 (Mr. Bossy Pants) - He hasn't raced in a year, but is training very fast and has won off of breaks in the past. He drops in class, has beaten tougher, and is a big threat if 100% off the long layoff.

3rd pick: #5 (Sammartino) - Drops into a claimer and that should male this runner competitive after five straight tries facing "open" allowance foes. He's won here at this trip in the past and is a contender this afternoon.
