Top pick: #4 (SPECIAL TRIP) - Son of the fine speed sire "Trippi" hasn't started since last August at Calder. Well-bet in his debut, he pressed a very fast pace racing for $20,000, and tired in the last 1/16th to finish third. If ready, he can win this wire-to-wire.
2nd pick: #9 (Mr. Bogart) - Poor start last out, and he did well to finish beaten only three lengths. Needs a hustling ride to stay close early, in order to make a strong late bid.
