Top pick: #4 (SASSOU) - Speed/stalker races second back off a long layoff and he was just a bit "short" last out. Has a lot of back class and he can win this with a slight move forward.
2nd pick: #1a (Pack Your Bags) - Part of a Carava trained entry and he's a very strong finisher. Likes the surface (4-2-1-1) and he's at the right level and distance. Almost put him on top and he's a strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (El Scorpio) - Speedy gelding cuts back a bit in distance and switches back to the turf following a failed stakse try in a dirt sprint at Fairplex. On his favorite infield and at his best distance (2-1-1-0) he could prove tough to catch.
