Top pick: #5 (AQUINO) - Tired last out in the G3 "SportPage" Hdcp after contesting the pace from a wide post. Race was his first in two months, coming after a nice win at Saratoga. Colt had worked sharply leading up to his comeback and he is a threat on the top end.
2nd pick: #2 (Try to Fly) - Highly thought of early in his career, he won the "San Pedro" at Santa Anita and placed in several others. He's had several long gaps in his training, but appears to be over whatever ailed him as he's had a solid year (6-1-5-0) and is stringing starts together. Nice work leading into this.
3rd pick: #1a (Diamond Isle) - He's only had two starts since November of last year, and today he'll be putting back-to-back races together for the first time since then. Stalker draws a nice post and the pace could be fast. Good shot at a square price.
