Top pick: #1 (TIGER STRIKE) - Has the rail and has been competitive in all three starts since coming back from a half-year's absence. Good tactical speed to utilize in a race without much pace. The choice for the win.
2nd pick: #3 (Mister Luke) - Longshot showed improved speed last out when he was stretced-out on the dirt for the first time. He could take them a long ways on the front-end at a nice price.
3rd pick: #4 (Desert Fox) - Takes a big drop in his third back off a long layoff and a very good barn (Bret Calhoun) moves him from the turf to the dirt. Win candidate.
