Top pick: #8 (HOLLYWOOD CLASSIC) - Makes first start for top claiming trainer off the claim for an owner he loves to win for. Takes a realistic, slight drop in class. Has good tactical speed. Switches to a rider he loves to use.
2nd pick: #1 (Ms. Freightshaker) - I like either part of the DePrima entry. "Ms. Freight" makes first start for barn off the claim. Returns off a freshening, which is a strong angle for this barn. "MateWildbutable" gets a trainer change. Will be closing late.
3rd pick: #4 (Point Me To It) - Properly spotted shipping in from Finger Lakes for solid conditioner. Brings his stable rider in. Has run well over this course in the past.
