Top pick: #5 (BATTLE SCHOOL) - Gelding finished 2nd here at this tag and trip Nov. 6th in his 2nd start back off a 7 week break. He's worked twice since and should break his maiden today with a "clean" trip.
2nd pick: #10 (Secret Jackpot) - Lightly raced 3yo gelding has finished 2nd in his last pair, the latest coming here at this distance and tag. Draws a nice post and stalker is a major player today.
3rd pick: #11 (Warren's Concept) - Price play raced evenly last out going shorter and moves out in the gate and gets an extra furlong to travel. The presence of Valenzuela is a big plus.
