Top pick: #1 (MINNETONKA MIST) - Longshot improved noticeably last out in his second start back off a three month break and only his 3rd start since last July at Canterbury Park. Has some back class, the rail, and two of his three wines are local. Gelding by "Benchmark" stretches-out in distance for this and can take thia at a big price.
2nd pick: #2 (Quick Meeting) - Another stretch-out sprinter and this veteran is coming off a win facing weaker. He's (6-2-2-0) since coming here from No. California and is very sharp at present.
3rd pick: #3 (Yasou) - Loves to compete (33-8-8-3) and he'll be looking for his third in a row this afternoon. Deep-closer has gotten fast pace scenarios in those two wins so it made it a bit easier on him. Stretch threat again this afternoon.
