Top pick: #6 (FIRST PENNY) - Home-bred is improving and will stretch out in distance today off a pair of close-up finishes in sprints at this level. Filly gets a rider upgrade for this and she has enough tactical speed to stay close early and win this late.
2nd pick: #5 (She's My Image) - Filly chased and tired last out facing tougher and trainer Mike Miceli will drop her down in price and stretch her out in distance. Races today in a career soft spot and she can factor from start to finish.
3rd pick: #1 (Smooth Bore) - Probable favorite finished second at this tag sprinting here one month ago and draws the rail as trainer Rudy Rodriguez will stretch her out in distance for the first time. She's broken slowly in both of her starts and can't afford to make that mistake again today.
