Top pick: #3 (EL DREAMER) (7-2) - Longtime maiden stretches out to his best distance (5-0-4-0) and gets an important upgrade to Irad Ortiz. One run type meets the usual weak field at this tag and can get the job done with a trouble free journey.
2nd pick: #7 (Griffin Rock) (5-2) - No speed type is another moving around two-turns today and that should make this long-winded type a major player as they come down the stretch. His best races have come at this tag and he's a win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Reaganomics) (4-1) - He ships from Philly Park where he tired after being "bumped" at the start and rushing up to attend the pace when debuting Nov 24 for a $25K tag. He has a new trainer (Bill Badgett) and he drops him in price and stretches him out in distance.
