Top pick: #3 (SOLID CITIZEN) - Runs 2nd off a 5 month layoff, has some speed, and most importantly drops into a claimer for the first time. Looks well set-up by a good barn (Mike Hushion) who wins at 20% on this drop.
2nd pick: #5 (Singing My Song) - Daughter of "Songandaprayer" returns from a two month layoff, drops in price, goes turf to dirt, and Dominguez climbs aboard. Big player with this group.
3rd pick: #6 (Siren's Call) - Firster by "Newfoundland" has some nice works for a barn that's always dangerous (Chad Brown). Trainer names his "go to" rider this afternoon (Jose Lezcano) and they've been winning at a 29% clip over the past 18 months.
