Top pick: #9 (PINELANDS PETE) - Philadelphia invader chased and tired there last out racing for $15,000. He won here in his previous start and did so on a sloppy track racing for $10,000. Has back class and a flexible style. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Lifeguard) - Comes off a sharp win here 12 days ago racing at this price as he cleared the 2L level. In the Cox barn and gelding draws the rail. Win threat right back.
3rd pick: #2 (Tell Me Willie Win) - Very fast gelding just failed to hold on last out at this level going 5 furlongs. In the Autrey barn and that was his first ever at this $5000 tag. His speed makes him dangerous.
