Top pick: #11 (PRIDE OF WILSHIRE) - Speed/stalker finished a close-up third last out at this level in his first back off a 7 week freshening. Has blinkers added today and draws outside of the other speed. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #3 (Absolut Magnitude ) - Looks like the main speed and a good barn (Jeff Bonde) will drop him into a claimer for the first time. Dangerous if he were to clear.
3rd pick: #5 (Pious David ) - Probable favorite finish a close-up second last out at this level in his first back off almost a five month layoff. In a top barn (Mike Mitchell) and one that excels second off a rest (26%).
4th pick: #1 (Cookin Expresso ) - Has the rail and enough ability to track while saving ground and attempt a late move. His price should be nice.
