Top pick: #1 (BRO'S BRO) (5-2) - The probable favorite, home-bred son of "In Excess" was beaten a 1/2 length when racing at this level here on July 17th. Colt has fine early speed, breaks from the rail, and boasts the highest "figure" any of those taht have started has run.
2nd pick: #2 (Rob's Pal) (6-1) - Barn (Jeff Mullins) has been sending out his runners in good form at this meet and won yesterday's finale. This 3-year-old has been freshened up since early Feb. and is training both steadily and above average.
3rd pick: #3 (Dreamnofatticus) (3-1) - Heavily bet in all three starts, he goes turf to "poly," shortens up in distance, and has Bejarano aboard for the first time. Can factor with the changes.
4th pick: #5 (Mr Lemon Tree) (10-1) - Price play is working sharply for his first since early Sept. when he as competitive on this surface. Colt has a new trainer (Rick Baltas) and is dangerous if ready.
