Top pick: #8 (I'M BIG TROUBLE) (5-2) - Home-bred has rallied to finish second in his first two outings with each coming here at this tag & trip. One run type is in a good barn (Barb Heads), and can run them down late to get his maiden win.
2nd pick: #9 (Bite Your Tongue) (8-5) - He's raced evenly in his last pair for twice this tag, and his connections will drop him down to race for $5000 for the first time. An obvious win candidate on the price reduction.
3rd pick: #6 (Slews Lucky Lee) (20-1) - He hasn't raced since last Oct., but his latest work was sharp and the balance of this field is weak. Can grab a share at long odds if ready.
4th pick: #5 (Rocky's Amigo) (15-1) - "Rocky" showed some fine early speed last out in a much improved effort over his debut. If he repeats his latest, 3yo could hold for a slice at a big price.
