Top pick: #5 (PEWTER) - He had a troubled start last out in his first back off a long layoff and after chasing the pace he predictably tired badly. Likes this surface and he should be set in his second back off the long vacation.
2nd pick: #1 (Cires) - He chased a fast pace last out to a very good runner (Frenchonionsoup) and although no match for that one he held down the place spot. Lightly raced and in a winning barn (Bruce Brown) he runs from the rail and at the same conditions as his last race.
3rd pick: #4 (Carter's Store) - Away since March, he has good speed if ready and is working well.
