Top pick: #4 (TOMMY AND BUSTER) - Lightly-raced gelding by "Maria's Mon" comes back from Santa Anita where he raced evenly in a pair of dirt sprints facing tougher. Good barn drops him in price, stretches him out in distance, and sends him to the turf for the first time. Can win this at a nice price.
2nd pick: #7 (Sky Chief) - Likes the local surface 4-3-0-0, and comes into this off an impressive win a week ago at this price and distance. Race was the best of his career and a repeat of it will make him very tough in this spot.
3rd pick: #3 (Victory Check) - Likes turf racing 8-2-3-1, and last out finished second here at this price in his first off a re-claim by Jason Wise. He's finished second twice to "Sky Chief" in the past two months and will need to improve a bit to reverse those decisions.
