Top pick: #1 (FINANCIALLY SECURE) - Probable favorite has been freshened-up for the past two months by a barn (Chad Brown) that does excellent work off layoffs (25%). Speed/stalker finished second in his last pair and was narrowly beaten in both. Working well and he's the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #3 (Don Balcazio) - Speed/stalker has finished third in his last pair, one from slightly off the pace and the latest after setting the fractions. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Zurs Victory) - Son of "Storm Cat" raced evenly at Gulfstream when debuting late in the meet. Trainer Rick Dutrow has freshened him up for the past 2 1/2 months and will drop him into a claimer today. Presence of Dominguez, who wins at a 39% rate for Dutrow is a big plus.
