Top pick: #2 (TRIPP O STEEL) (3-1) - Speedy 7-year-old duels thru fast splits last out and tired late to finish fourth. Effort came first off a reclaim by leading trainer Jamie Ness and this veteran speed/stalker can take this with his best.
2nd pick: #5 (Dubai Distinction) (5-1) - He's visited the winner's circle 12 times and enters this off a "snappy" win here at this tag and trip facing slightly weaker just nine days ago. Professional stalker should get a fast/and or contested pace to rally into.
3rd pick: #6 (More Than a Reason) (6-1) - Veteran chased and tired while being bounced around between runners last out in a starter-allowance. Effort was his first off a Jim Wright claim and he drops him back down for this attempt. The faster the pace, the better his prospects.
4th pick: #1 (Valueable Silver) (4-1) - He runs first off a claim for a barn that's 0-for-20 over the past 13 1/2 months. However, this grey gelding likes this surface (16-5-2-1) and can factor if he holds his form off the stable switch.
