Top pick: #4 (Exchange Traded Funds) - Races second back off almost a two month layoff and lightly raced gelding will drop in price and shorten up in distance. Well bet in his first two starts, he's in a good barn (Frank Lucarelli) and sophomore can win this 5 furlong sprint if he breaks cleanly.
2nd pick: #1 (Texas Bad Boy) - Has many good tries at this level and distance and draws the inside post in this short sprint. Has a flexible style, but this will be start number 29 and he'll need his very best to win. Gelding loses rider Alex Von Rosen to the top pick here.
3rd pick: #7 (Smart Blues) - Speed stalker has run well in his two starts here since coming from California and last out finished 2nd after chasing the pace of a long gone winner. Needs to do a bit better for any shot at the win.
