Top pick: #7 (CLEARANCE SALE) - Owned and bred by Team Valor and trained by Graham Motion and that's the same combo that won this year's Kentucky derby (G1) with "Animal Kingdom". This colt is training nicely for his first start since late November at Hawthorne facing much tougher. He's never raced this low and is the horse to beat if 100%.
2nd pick: #6 (Grand Macho) - Improving son of "Macho Uno" tries winners for the first time following an easy maiden win here on Sept. 7. Four-year-old has more speed than most and is a win threat on the front end.
3rd pick: #4 (Expressivo) - Gelding has the best race of any entered when he broke his maiden at Tampa Bay Down last Feb. He's only started twice since then and runs today off a 70-day break. Dangerous with his best.
