Top pick: #5 (RANGER JAMES) - The horse to beat if race stays on the grass. Lightly raced and improving, he'll race with blinkers on today in an effort to push him "over the top". The choice for the maiden win.
2nd pick: #6 (Winloc's Saint Ray) - His three turf starts are all acceptable. Has speed/stalking ability and will be in this from start to finish.
3rd pick: #7 (Burnished Copper) - He's finished second in his last three starts, all on the turf at this distance. He's raced well on this course in the past (4-0-1-2) and it's hard to imagine him not being in this at the finish.
4th pick: #9 (Slick Wheelie) - Improving, has some speed, draws a nice post, and will try the grass for the first time.
