Top pick: #7 (CYBERTRON) - He was entered last Saturday but trainer Phil Serpe elected to scratch him to await this spot. Speed/stalker drops into a claimer for the first time after being competitive in several starts facing much tougher. Home-bred from the successful Flying Z stable is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #9 (There Goes Vinny) - "Vinny" has some speed and has taken some money in all three outings. Gets an important trainer upgrade today to Rudy Rodriguez (26% with new arrivals) and this gelding draws a nice outside post to "gun" from.
3rd pick: #8 (Tycoon Cat) - Nice effort last out saw him rally to finish second on a sloppy local surface facing $16K "open" maiden just one week ago. Drops back in with fellow state-breds and will stretch out a furlong.
