Top pick: #7 (Distinctive Dude) - Showed excellent speed in his debut and took some money at the betting windows. Gelding pressed a fast pace while wide and held on to his position until mid-stretch. Trainer Craig Dollase drops him into a claimer this afternoon (38% winning move) and put a fast workout into him a week ago. Draws a good post and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #2 (Sentry Duty) - Gets a major rider change to Tyler Baze after this 4-year-old missed by a nose in his latest effort. Consistent sort has put together a trio of strong races and is an obvious win candidate in this spot.
