Top pick: #5 (THE BULL GOT SHOT) - He's racing into shape following a four month layoff and last out finished second at this level on the all weather surface in his third back off the break. Trainer Bob Tiller moves him back to the grass and in his only previous grass race he finished second here last August at this distance when he was still a maiden. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #2 (Bear's Peak) - He hasn't raced since early November of 2010 when he tired after setting a pressured pace and tiring in a $127K stakes for Canadian-breds. Working fast for his return and an excellent barn (Reade Baker) will run him on the grass for the first time. The likely winner if the top choice fails.
