Top pick: #2 (TOKYO BAY) - One of a pair entered by trainer Mark Casse and they'll race uncoupled. Both have a strong chance at the win and this runner gets a slight edge. Son of "Giant's Causeway" finished a pace-setting 2nd last out at this level and distance in his first start in 1lmost 10 months. Has a maintenance drill since and he's the top seolection.
2nd pick: #5 (Blushing Sir Brahm) - The 2nd of the Casse pair stalked and finished a close-up 3rd last out sprinting at this tag in his first off a 7 1/2 month layoff. Stretches-out tonight and is a worthy opponent for his barn-mate.
3rd pick: #4 (Bearyoungheart) - Races 3rd off an 11 month break and he showed a lot of improvement in his 2nd back. Goes two-turns tonight off of a pair of sprintrs and he's in a sharp small barn (Lyle Morden). The main danger to the Casse duo.
