Top pick: #5 (TALCO) (5-2) - French import takes a big drop in class after racing in nothing but G1 and G2 stakes since coming to North America. The distance is fine and his class should get this strong finisher home on top.
2nd pick: #4 (Bailoutbobby) (5-1) - "Bobby" raced evenly while finishing 3rd here at this level in an off the turf contest Jan. 11. He's gone 14-3-1-2 on the grass in the past and one of his wins came on this course.
3rd pick: #2 (Big Johnny D) (10-1) - Irish bred and English raced, he make his North American debut off almost a four month layoff. He's won 5-of-18 overall on the grass and has exhibited a flexible style. Working steadily, he has Lasix added and is a threat if ready.
4th pick: #7 (Helm) (9-2) - He finished almost two better than "Bobby" last out in a race that was switched to the main track. He's yet to win in four previous grass starts but was competitive in two of those.
