Top pick: #5 (GOLDEN WEEKEND) - Veteran was claimed in early March by owner/trainer Pete Chin and has been freshened-up since. Has excellent early speed and will run today in a career soft spot. His "off" track record is (7-1-1-2) and they all came facing much tougher. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #9 (Cafe Con Leche) - Gelding's form has slipped since coming east from California late last year. Last out he ran evenly for $7500 and trainer Andrea Gonzalez will drop him down to the local bottom. Can impact at a big price.
3rd pick: #7 (Menifee Six) - Races third back off a seven week break and trainer Scott Lake will cut him back in distance. 7-year-old is (3-2-1-0) on "wet" tracks and he would benefit the most if the pace is fast/and or contested.
