Top pick: #3 (SHAGGY NIUNIU) - Gelding by "Salt Lake" chased and tired in his debut facing special weights and is brought back quickly and dropped into a claimer by trainer Lloyd Mason. 3yr.old has a near bullet since his first outing and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (Lutalo) - Has fine early speed and drops back into a claimer after setting the pace last out facing special weights going a mile. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Grand Takeover) - Drops into a claimer for the first time, draws the rail, cuts-back in distance, and it's the team of Hollendorfer and Baze. Must be left in the mix.
