Top pick: #6 (FOREST SOUVENIR) - Colt showed good early speed in his debut before tiring during the stretch run. Trainer Jeff Mullins brings him back a month later and will drop him into a claimer and remove his blinkers for the this attempt. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #8 (Navy Seal Six) - Nice debut saw this colt press the early pace, take over the lead turning for home and tire slightly at the end to finish second. Barn brings him back in two weeks for this attempt and trainer Kristin Mulhall wins at a 36% rate second time out.
3rd pick: #2 (Lockheart) - Working above average and frequently for his debut, this gelding by Aldebaran is in a good first out barn (Peter Miller) and it's good to see jockey Marty Garcia take the mount.
