Top pick: #1 (MASTER SPLASH) - Gelding chased the pace last out from a wide post at this level and distance and tired during the stretch run. Home-bred moves to the rail and can win this at a nice price.
2nd pick: #7 (Paci Di Notte) - He's lightly raced and has tired in his last pair from tough outside draws. Three back he finished a pace-chasing second at this level and trip and is a major factor this afternoon.
3rd pick: #6 (Turn Up the Music) - Lightly-raced colt by "Quiet American" finished a non-threatening third last out at this condition in his first start since last Sept. His trainer (Jim Bond) is having a great meet and Dominguez is aboard for the first time.
