Top pick: #1 (POLISHED DEGREE) (7-2) - Colt has been facing tougher in Florida, and will be racing at a new low and off a five month layoff. Home-bred by "Congrats" is working fast locally, has a speed/stalking style, and breaks from the rail. Can take this with his best.
2nd pick: #5 (Ridge Defense) (3-1) - Lightly-raced gelding tired here facing tougher on May 12th in his first start in seven months. Ohio-bred finished second here when debuting in late August and is dropping down in class and making back-to-back starts for the first time.
3rd pick: #3 (Chance of Reign) (9-5) - His connections drop him back down after he raced evenly here when facing special weights just 13 days ago. In his only other start at this price tag, gelding finished third on the Tampa Bay dirt on April 2nd. He's in the mix with his best.
