Top pick: #1 (HASHA) - Has the rail, speed/stalking ability, and gelding comes a solid 2nd place finish here 12 days ago. Race was his best overall since May of 2010 and a repeat of it makes him tough to beat.
2nd pick: #2 (Wasp) - Lightly raced gelding drops and goes turf to dirt for the Asmussen barn. Expensive yearling ($160,000) fits, runs 3rd off a 70 day break, and is a strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Pleasuremagnet) - Has some speed and draws better this evening after having wide truips in his last pair after breaking from outside posts. The top two picks are more likely to win this, but he could factor in the same race bets.
