Top pick: #5 (SHORT SWORD) (5-1) - Price play showed fine speed last out before weakening late. It was his first in 4 1/2 months and gelding has worked fast since. Can take this as he makes back-to-back starts for the first time.
2nd pick: #9 (Rambling House) (9-5) - He rallied to finish second when debuting in the same last race as "Sword." He's also worked nicely since and is an obvious win threat.
3rd pick: #7 (Expotentially) (8-1) - The field's most experienced maiden, he's gone 4-0-1-1 on this surface and stalker can grab another small share with his norml effort.
4th pick: #10 (Giant Cowboy) (4-1) - Debuting gelding is working steadily and has been training locally since July. Barn (Craig Dollase) is sharp first out (38%)and this $45K yearling is a win candidate.
