Top pick: #5 (TWICE THE APPEAL) - Colt drew a tough post in his debut (12th of 12) and raced wide and evenly in a good performance. He's worked well twice since that initial experience and draws a much better post today. Can win this at a square price.
2nd pick: #6 (Prayer for Relief) - Baffert trained son of "Jump Start" also was wide in his debut and wasn't beaten much. Trainer removes his blinkers for this and it's Pedroza off and Marty Garcia on. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Runflatout) - Debuting son of "Flatter" is working sharply and draws the rail. Strong rider/trainer combo of Bejarano/Gaines and colt is a win factor if ready.
