Top pick: #5 (THE PHENOM) - Races first off a Mike Mitchell claim ( a 38% winning angle) and colt showed big speed last out before finishing 2nd. Barn turns him around quickly ( 10 days) and Marty Garcia climbs aboard. The top pick.
2nd pick: #8 (Trouble Rules ) - Much improved effort last out as he stalked, bid, and settled for 2nd. Pat Valenzuela takes over today and gelding is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Dancing at Dark) - Colt took some money in his debut but had some problems sonn after the start and did well to finish 5th of nine. He's worked well since and is in a good barn (Pete Miller). Contends today.
