Top pick: #4 (BOB BENOIT) - Gelding races off a Juan Guerrero claim and a 7 week break. Working fast for this and his new trainer is spectacular first off the claim (59%). Training fast and leading rider Carmouche is aboard. Trainer/rider team wins at a 46% rate when teamed-up.
2nd pick: #1 (James Wilfred) - Very sharp winner last out sprinting in his first off an Ed Auwarter claim he drops him below the claimed price and stretches him out in distance. This trip is one of his favorites (6-2-2-1) and he's a strong win factor.
3rd pick: #1a (Grande) - Coupled with James Wilfred he just missed last out facing tougher and vetern speed/stalker likes this trip. Six-year-old gelding should be in this from start-to-finish.
