Top pick: #1a (KNOT NEWS) - Probably was "best" last out as his jockey Ramon Dominguez was "guilty" of an over-confident ride. Daughter of Prime Timber runs back at the same price and distance, and a similar effort should get the job done.
2nd pick: #8 (Way to Karakorum) - Rated, bid, and stayed on well for the place last out in by far her best performance in her 7 lifetime starts. She's learned to conserve her energy after "burning-out" in her early races.
3rd pick: #5 (Green Harbor) - Rated early last out, but offered only a mild response when asked to run. She finished 4 lengths behind "Karakorum" in that one. Needs to pick it up a bit.
