Top pick: #6 (JOE BLACK SANDY) - He's won 3 of his last 4, two on the grass and one on the dirt. Professional stalker draws outside of the speed in this small field and that's to his advantage. Gelding likes this surface (14-6-1-0) and is 3 for 7 at this trip. Gets a slight edge in a nice race for this level.
2nd pick: #3 (Plantsite) - Looks like the main speed and won here last out racing for $10K sprinting. Gelding had been competitive in his previous 4 starts in California and that recent win here made him 3 for 4 on this surface. Tough opponent.
