Top pick: #4 (ACHAK) - Veteran races third back off a two month break and trainer Mike Mitchell will drop him down in price and shorten him up in distance. Irish-bred has run well "down the hill" in the past (5-1-3-0) and looks all set this afternoon.

2nd pick: #1 (Lease of Life) - He finished third last out here in a small stakes going a mile and trainer Pete Miller will cut him back in distance and add blinkers for this attempt. Win candidate in this field.

3rd pick: #5 (Galleta Monstruo) - He raced evenly last out in the same race as Lease of Life and was three lengths in back of him at the finish. His lack of speed is a bit of a concern but he has a good closing kick and would love some type of pace collapse.
