Top pick: #10 (CAT NIP DENNY) - He chased and tired from the inside last out at this level in his first back off a three month break. Speed/stalker comes back quickly for this and draws a great post at this trip to use his early speed. four-year-old can win this at a nice price.
2nd pick: #9 (Mas Macho) - He enters this in excellent form and will be trying this first-level allowance condition for the first time. Competitive at various levels facing weaker and this five-year-old loves this surface.
3rd pick: #8 (Bellagio) - He's proven in the past that he can compete at this level and races today off a win facing weaker and a claim by Keith Lebarron. Strong finisher should get a solid pace to rally into.
4th pick: #4 (Two Brash) - He had no shot last out after a poor start but had run well in his previous two races at this level. Likes to rally late, so a fast/contested pace would help his style out.
