Top pick: #1 (HAIL ST. ELMO) - Gelding has been bet in both his starts and has shown good early speed in each before tiring. Has the rail, is in a great barn (Bob Diodoro) and the horse he battled with early last out won that battle and came back to score again yesterday. Very tough on the front-end.
2nd pick: #3 (Last Blend) - Veteran maiden (15-0-2-2) finished second in a small field (5) last out and he has both speed and stalking ability. This field is pretty weak and he looks next best.
3rd pick: #2 (PrisonPrayer) - Has plenty of early gas but continues to back-up down the stretch. Well-bred 4-year-old by "Songandaprayer" has been bet in all 5 starts, so he may have more ability than he's shown.
