Top pick: #12 (NACHOORDINARYGUY) - Well-bet facing tougher at the Fair Grounds he takes a big drop tonight and he showed enough in three races in New Orleans to win this. Runs off a trainer change and he'll cut him back in distance, drop him way down in price, and switch him from turf to dirt. The top selection.
2nd pick: #10 (Thekingoftexas) - Veteran maiden likes to make a late run and has been improving of late. Can be a strong factor during the stretch run if he avoids any traffic in this large field.
3rd pick: #4 (It's No Secret) - Improving with each start gelding showed good speed last out at the Fair Grounds and he'll drop down a bit and can contend at a big price.
4th pick: #5 (Buzz On the Mount) - He's yet to crack the exacta in 11 starts but has been improving of late and his early speed is also better. Can be in this from start-to-finish.
