Top pick: #5 (BOWMAN'S CASTLE) - Home-bred gelding will stretch-out in distance off a pair of solid efforts going 6 furlongs. Clearly getting better since coming here from Arlington and switching to conventional dirt, and he'll be very tough to beat today.
2nd pick: #6 (Varacruz) - He's one of two entered by trainer Dan Miller and the pair will run as separate betting interests. This 4-year-old gelding has been showing good speed racing on the turf and if he brings that early foot to the dirt he'll be a handful.
