Top pick: #6 (SHIP'S PIANO) - He's been raced into shape by his connections, and may have been best last out, as he lost several lengths when forced to steady. Nearing his best, and he returns quickly for this start (10 days). The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #7 (Smooth Wind) - Logical selection and probable favorite just missed (by a head) in his most recent racing for $15,000. Drops in half and will be very tough to defeat. Dominguez, who rode him last out, is on our top pick.
3rd pick: #1 (Flash of Victory) - Has the rail, and will run today with blinkers on in an attempt to "shake him up" a bit. He's been racing evenly, and it wouldn't take much of a move forward to put him in the final mix at a square price.
