Top pick: #3 (TRIPPLITE) - He was defeated by today's rival Giron last out but was under intense pressure from the start and battled until mid-strech where he weakened to finish 3rd. There's not much other speed signed up and this gelding might get an easy lead this afternoon. The top pick.
2nd pick: #7 (Giron) - Consistent 6yo has won his last pair after coming back from a long layoff and he has fine positional speed. Gelding by "Elusive Quality"loves this surface(7-3-1-2) and is 5 for 8 at this distance. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (Cowboy Gets Even) - Strong finisher drops down this afternoon and is capable of impacting no matter what the pace scenario is, though the faster the better.
