Top pick: #1 (ONE BIG GATOR) - Throw out his Queens Plat race and he's (7-1-3-1) on the main track here. One-run type has finished second in two straight at this condition and draws the rail. Can save all the ground and run them down late.
2nd pick: #5 (Wonder Phil) - He's racing back into shape following a 5 1/2 month layoff and has been competitive in three straight at this level. Gelding has a sharp work last Sunday and can impact today at a nice price.
3rd pick: #2 (Squeeze the Fox) - Much improved since he was claimed by Daryl Ezra in early May. Four-year-old steps up in class after runnin second against "open" claimers last out. In career best form at present and he can factor at big odds.
