Top pick: #8 (GUIDING MISSILE) - Gelding rallied last out to finish second in a race common to several others that are entered. Draws a good post for his stalking style and has plenty of back class to call upon at "crunch" time. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #4 (Retake) - He has solid early speed and this race doesn't have many front-runners. Has a chance to go "all the way" at a big price.
3rd pick: #2 (Hobby) - He moves up a condition after an easy win last out at this price and distance to clear the 2l level. Gelding by "Mineshaft" is lightly raced and has room for more improvement. Contends again today.
