Top pick: #5 (GENTLEMAN PETE) (5-2) - Colt goes turf to the "all weather," drops to a new low, and shortens up in distance. In his only other start for a tag, he just missed at Santa Anita going a mile on the grass. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #2 (Surf N Ski) (9-5) - He's been sharp in his last pair facing a bit tougher and last out finised a strong third in his first on this surface. Win candidate in what looks like a three horse race on paper.
3rd pick: #1 (Our Lucky Son) (3-1) - Nicely-bred gelding drops into a claimer for his second back from a half-year's absence. He has ability and and should be involved from start-to-finish.
