Top pick: #1 (LUCKY PRIMO) - Lightly raced, competitive (14-5-3-3), and he's become a better horse since switching to the turf. Likes some time between his starts and when last in action was winning a 2x allowance at Hollywood park on July 14th, his first start since Oct. 29. Working fine, has the rail, and is the top selection.
2nd pick: #6 (Polytechnicien) - Kentucky-bred and French raced, he had a fine record in Europe (18-6-4-1) and placed in both Group 2 and 3 contests. Working nicely for his first start since early Dec. and his Time Form figures say he's a major threat if ready.
3rd pick: #5 (Rauscheberg) - He's (15-4-2-4) on the grass and the majority have been in sprints. Gelding is one for one at this trip and should be in this from start to finish with his best.
