Top pick: #2 (SLEEK JOHN) - He raced very wide last out before leveling off late. Veteran gets his favorite trip this afternoon (three for five) and he's won here in the past. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Run Smart One) - He races first off a Tom Schell claim from Mike Pino for $10,000. Races where they can't lose him and he draws the best post for the distance. Win threat.
3rd pick: #4 (Arrow's Flight) - Very sharp at this point as he seeks his third in a row so trainer Tony Pecoraro sends him down from tampa Bay for this. Speed/stalker has a lot of back class and must be taken seriously in this spot.
