Top pick: #3 (HONOUR FAMILY ) - Claimed last October by trainer Raphael Bacerra for $32,000 colt ran well in his two start in 2009 and is training sharply for his first race in 7 1/2 months. Has early speed and is the choice to break his maiden.
2nd pick: #7 (Battle Point ) - Improving gelding by "Point Given" finished a close-up fourth last out at this level and distance and a repeat makes him a win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (Courtside Action) - Gelding finished a rallying second last out at this level going 5.5 furlongs and gets an extra 1/8th of a mile today which is in his favor. Contender.
4th pick: #10 (Ministerfrommiami) - He raced evenly in his latest so trainer Art Sherman will add blinkers for this attempt. Can factor in the exotics at a nice price.
