Top pick: #2 (LEMONY FRESH) - One of two horses entered by trainer Ramon Preciado and they'll race as separate interests. Lightly raced 4-year-old won an entry level-allowance last out in her first start off a claim and she's nicely spotted today. Filly is the main speed as she stretches out around two turns. Very tough to beat on the front-end.
2nd pick: #5 (Orbiston Parva) - Also trained by Preciado, she's won two in a row since a trainer switch and both wins have been of the easy variety. Much improved and she fits this starter-allowance nicely. Major contender gives the trainer a strong hand in this small field.
