Top pick: #10 (FIGHT ON GINO) - First time starter by "Moscow Ballet" is in the barn of leading trainer Mike Chambers and had been working fast at Santa Anita until mid-February when he was brought here to make his debut. All of his works are above average and he meets a weak field which should lead to a sharp effort first out. The top selection.
2nd pick: #8 (Sportive) - Another who's making his first start and this son of Bellamy Road has some good works showing and is in a top barn (Bob Diodoro). Race seems to come down to two first time starters and this three-year-old could win this if the top pick fails.
3rd pick: #4 (Ryleas Topper) - Improving gelding rallied to finish third at this price two weeks ago and did so after stumbling at the start. Race was the best of his six race career and a repeat of it makes him a contender in this spot.
