Top pick: #1 (GRAND TEJAS) - Gelding just missed here at this level and trip last out in his second back off a seven week freshening. Speed/stalker has the rail and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #3 (El Oso) - Speedy gelding set/pressed the pace in the same race as the top pick and only gave way in the last 1/16th. Effort was his first in three months and he's a win candidate with a slight move forward.
3rd pick: #2 (Vamoose ) - Also exits the same race as the top pair and he also has good early speed. Dangerous barn (Henry Dominguez) has him set in his second back off a three month break to do some damage.
