Top pick: #9 (WAR WIZARD) - He took some money in his debut and finished an even third racing at this price at Santa Anita just 16 days ago. Northwest based trainer Frank Lucarelli brings him back quickly and gelding draws a nice outside post at this distance. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #8 (Gannicus) - Drops after a "trouble" start last out when he "bobbled" at the start and tired after rushing to catch up. Switches to Valenzuela today and this gelding is a threat from close range.
3rd pick: #1 (At Last a Wildcat) - Has the rail, some early speed, and he continues to work fast. Far back of "Gannicus" when they net at Fairplex, but this gelding's speed make him dangerous.
