Top pick: #1 (HAVANADAYDREAM) - Working fast for his first start since July 1st when he was claimed by trainer Jorge Navarro for $25K. Returns off the long layoff well under the purchase price and we'll assume he's reday, as he may get claimed. Has the rail, the best speed, and Navarro is on an early roll at this meet (14-5-2-2).
2nd pick: #12 (Fifth Street) - Much improved since coming back from a 7 week break in early November, he's (3-1-1-0), since then and last out finished 2nd here at this trip racing for $10000. Trainer Carl Nafzger drops him down a bit and he's a win candidate from this nice outside post.
3rd pick: #7 (Impressive Storm) - Consistent sort is (9-0-4-2) since dropping into claimers last May and finished 2nd here at this price and trip a month ago. He should run well again this afternoon.
