Top pick: #8 (CARDIFF GIANT) - Nice debut at this level saw gelding stalk from an outside post (11), bid and reached the front, only to be out-finished late to run second. The horse to beat with any improvement.

2nd pick: #9 (Sticky Candy) - Colt by "Candy Ride" raced evenly against tougher in his debut and will drop into a claimer for this attempt. Barn (John Sadler) is solid second-time out (17%).

3rd pick: #3 (Action Call) - Longshot has some speed and has "nibbled" in several of his starts. Defeated by the top pick last out, he'll need to step it up for a shot at the win. Square odds are expected.

4th pick: #2 (Bye Bye Hollywood) - Filly takes on colts and although she's run well in both starts it's still a tall order for a juvenile filly to beat males. Maybe for a small slice.
