Top pick: #3 (BRIMSTONE ISLAND) - Son of "Tiznow" took some money when debuting here in a sprin at this price three weeks ago and he chased the pace before weakening to finish fourth of six. Trainer Steve Hobby almost never wins with a first time starter but does so at a 28% rate second-time out. $170,000 yearling has Napravnik listed, and she's won with 4-of-7 for Hobby since returning from an injury two weeks ago.
2nd pick: #1 (Risk On) - Hobby trained this runner for his first two starts and gelding races today off a trainer switch to Deb Simpson. Has some speed and last out stayed on until the last 1/16th when 2-year-old by "Indian Charlie" tired to finish fourth in a tougher field than this. Has the rail and should be involved all the way.
3rd pick: #4 (Fastest James) - He's one of a pair entered by trainer Randy Nunley and the two will race as separate interests. Gelding bt "Bwana Charlie" has been competitive in all three starst since stretching-out and should be again this afternoon.
