Top pick: #7 (MORGANOUSKA) - Grey gelding is (5-2-2-1) in 2012 and runs today off a Terry Knight claim and a subsequent 7 week freshening. Speed/stalker is 2-for-4 locally and is working nicely for this attempt. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #6 (Ziggy's Stardust) - Consistent sort was a winner here on June 7th racing for $12.5K and that was his first race in 13 months. Claimed that day by Jack Carava, he brings him back with a slight raise in price. Major threat.
3rd pick: #4 (Matto Mondo) - Chilean-bred has plenty of back class and last out at Sunland Park he tired facing tougher after setting a pressured pace. He's never raced this low before and must be left in the mix.
