Top pick: #5 (SOUTH FOURTH ST.) - Claimed out of his latest by Scott Lake from the Contessa barn. Think Lake had this race in mind when he signed the slip and think he can win this from just off the lead. It's imperative that he stay as close as possible (3-4 lengths) to projected pace-setter "Ferocious Won".
2nd pick: #8 (Ferocious Won) - Has good speed to offer and goes first off a Gary Contessa claim (24%). Draws a good post to sprint clear from, and just like the top pick, believe that he was claimed with this race in mind.
3rd pick: #1 (That'srightofficer) - He's now run three straight sub-par efforts and the last pair are disturbing, as they came off a five-month layoff. Has a sharp work since his last race and Prado stays put. Should offer whatever he has left in this third "off the bench" situation.
