Top pick: #3 (TWICE THE APPEAL) - Colt drops into a claimer for the first time and trainer Jeff Bonde gets Garret Gomez to ride him for the first time. Son of "Successful Appeal's" best race came at Fairplex on real dirt when he missed by a "head." Stalker is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #6 (Welcome Home Ryan) - Working fast for his first start in almost two months, he didn't show much at that time but his blinkers come off and his drills are too good to ignore. "Live" longshot.
3rd pick: #7 (Minutesandtouches) - Drops down in price and trainer Terry Knight will add blinkers for this attempt. Gelding has been competitive in most of his starts and is working fast (presumably with the blinkers that he'll wear today). Win candidate.
