Top pick: #1 (YODELADY O) - Speed/stalker draws the rail, runs third back off a break, switches back to a synthetic, and returns to the barn of Ted West. Can win this from a stalking spot.
2nd pick: #6 (Kaylie's Joy ) - Very fast filly races first off a Bob Hess Jr. claim and will be very tough on the front-end if left unchallenged early.
3rd pick: #8 (Perfect Vintage ) - Veteran mare by "Bertrando" raced evenly last out in a first-level allowance, her first race in eight months. Drop into this optional claimer is a plus and she ran well her last season. Win candidate.
