Top pick: #4 (PENNINGTON) - He's lost his last pair to "Banrock" by a combined 1 3/4's lengths. Can either set the pace here or rate just off the top. Has an excellent chance at a mild "upset" (3-1 up to 5-1).
2nd pick: #10 (Banrock) - Probable heavy favorite (6-5 or less), but no matter the price he's a big win candidate and is three for three this year in state-bred stakes. Old-timer will be tough again down the stretch.
3rd pick: #12 (My Man Lars) - He has enough tactical speed to not let this post hurt his chances. Both "Pennington" and "Banrock" have defeated him lately, but not by all that much and he'll be at least four to five times higher in the odds than that pair. Value play in the exotics.
