Top pick: #4 (GREAT MAGIC) - Gelding has plenty of back class and makes his first start for last year's leading trainer at this meet (Juan Vazquez). He's off to a fast start at this session and wins at a 30% rate with new arrivals to his barn. Five-year-old meets a weak field as is the top pick.
2nd pick: #1 (Ensign Three Stix) - He's one of three entered who has won here in the past and all of his good efforts have come on this surface. He had a bad start in his seasonal debut in a sprint at Pimlico and wil drop down in price and stretch-out in distance. Has the rail, and that's always an advantage here.
3rd pick: #2 (D'coffee Cat) - Stretch-out sprinter comes off a third-place finish at Tampa Bay Downs and he's also stretching-out in distance. Can factor if he takes to this surface.
