Top pick: #8 (TITIAN) - Well-bet in his first pair facing tougher trainer Mike Machowsky has this gelding working fast on this surface and will drop him into a claimer for the first time. Dave Flores stays put and this newly turned 3-year-old draws a nice post for the distance. The top pick.
2nd pick: #4 (Champagne Topper) - Has some early speed and will be cutting-back in distance after finishing second last out at this level going a mile. His speed in this largely untried field makes him dangerous.
3rd pick: #1 (Brereton Park) - Gelding by "Salt Lake" made up some ground in his debut to finish a close-up fourth. Stretches-out a bit three weeks later and Rosraio takes the re-ride. Stretch threat.
