Top pick: #6 (CLASSY LION) - Gelding has been freshened up for the past two months after finishing a close-up 5th facing slightly tougher at Santa Anita Apr. 10th. Three-year-old by "Lion Heart" has the best early speed of this group and is training extemely fast for this attempt. Drops into a career soft spot and trainer Caesar Dominguez names his go to rider Raf. Bejarano. Speedy runner draws a good post and will be tough to beat with a clean start.
2nd pick: #4 (Stu's Gone Wild) - Lightly raced, improving, and last out will beaten a nose facing slightly tougher in his first ever on this surface. Speed/stalker is an obvious threat with a repeat of that effort and may be the favorite in this spot this evening.
