Top pick: #5 (LEESIDER) - He's won more money than the rest of the field combined and although he's now running at the bottom he still tries hard and trainer Manny Ortiz will stretch him out in distance off a sharp try last out at this price in a sprint. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #7 (Telepathic) - Dep-closer ran second last out at this price and distance and until recently had been facing a bit tougher. Eight-year-old by "Tiznow" should get a fast pace to rally into and is a stretch threat.
3rd pick: #8 (Little Duanie) - He finished second last out in a small stakes at Rillito and has been competitive (without winning) here at this distance in the past. He needs a smart ride from this outside post.
