Top pick: #3 (YES THIS IS IT) - Florida comes here sharp, with good tactical speed, and by far the best form of those who have raced. He'll be trying a "poly" track for the first time and also drops to race in a career soft spot. Wins this if he handles the surface switch.
2nd pick: #4 (Big Breeches) - He hasn't raced since his debut here a bit over a year ago when he finished a solid second at 32-1 going two-turns racing for $25K. Training fast for a good small barn, he can factor in this rather weak field.
3rd pick: #5 (Fierce Prospect) - Well bet in his debut here a month ago, this gelding by "Stormy Atlantic" raced close up from start to finish and was third of nine, beaten two lengths. Claimed that day by Tino Attard he bumps him up in price and has had him work twice since the purchase. Contends today.
