Top pick: #9 (MAJOR SMOKE ) - In excellent form at present, brings a fine speed/stalking style to the contest, and draws a nice post for this 6.5 furlong trip. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #8 (Magnificent Blend ) - He's won his last pair both on the dirt on the Fair circuit but has an excellent record on synthetics (12-4-3-4). Races first off an Art Sherman Jr. claim and he's a strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Within Reason) - Races first off a Mike Mitchell claim (a 40% success rate) and gelding comes off a win facing weaker. His speed makes him dangerous.
