Top pick: #5 (TAZERED) - Grey colt by "Mizzen Mast" was an easy winner when debuting in late Sept. on this surface and did not run again until May 18th when he raced evenly here at this distance running for $50K. He's come back with a pair of fast works since that return effort and trainer Gary Contessa drops him down in price and this $80K 2-year-old purchase is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #2 (Metrology) - Training above average and on a steady basis for his first start since early Nov., this 4-year-old has been competitive at this price and distance in the past and ran well in his only previous start on this surface. Trainer Bruce Brown wins at a 24% rate off of long layoffs, and this 4-year-old by "Purge" is a threat if ready.
