Top pick: #7 (Rogue Scholar) - Drops back in for a tag after racing wide in a sprint stakes last out at Turf Paradise. Draws a nice post and this tag ($25K) is one he has been very successful at in the past. Takes this at a square price with a stalking trip.
2nd pick: #6 (Make Mine Vodka) - Makes his third start off a seven-week break and he ran better last out than in his return run. Tag is perfect, he has some positional speed ,and he's two for three at this trip.
3rd pick: #5 (Sunshine Ridge) - He's been competitive in all his starts since returning from a 10-month layoff. Lack of speed is a bit of a concern, as the pace here could be ordinary. Working well and the extra furlong should help him out.
