Top pick: #9 (Warren's Bugler) - He's improved in his fast pair following an even effort in his debut and last out he showed some fine early foot. Home-bred had a nice work on the Nov. 12, meets a weak field, and gets the call in this maiden claimer.
2nd pick: #4 (Bandini's Rogue) - He hasn't raced since Feb. 18, but has a new trainer (Jeff Mullins) 25% with new arrivals, and he's worked this gelding a half-dozen times in the past 40 days. Looks set to show whatever he has.
3rd pick: #8 (Coyote Road) - One of a trio of debuting runners and he has some sharp local works showing. Trainer Dean Peterson is capable first out (18%) and grey gelding meets a weak field.
