Top pick: #3 (LEADING CANDIDATE) - Very consistent (14-5-4-1) overall, and he's (7-5-1-0) on this course. Well-bred and he's improved considerably since a trainer change to Ramon Preciado last July. 5-year-old returns from a 7 month layoff this afternoon but is working nicely and has won off of shorter breaks in the past.
2nd pick: #2 (Noah's Dream) - Gelding ran a career best when he won by almost 8 lengths here over cheaper on June 4th. Race was his first off a "Lupe" Guerrero claim and a subsequent seven week freshening. Speedy, moves up in price, but the barn tends to keep them sharp for awhile.
