Top pick: #1 (MONTEREY JAZZ) - Very speedy runner has taken to the turf (9-5-0-2) and draws the hedge. Relatively fresh and he's working fast for this $350,000 stakes. Can take this field from start-to-finish. One of a pair from trainer Craig Dollase and they'll race uncoupled.
2nd pick: #5 (Awesome Gem) - The second of the Dollase runners likes to come from well back and presume that his barn-mate will guarantee a solid pace. He's finished second in both of his previous runs on this course. Stretch threat.
3rd pick: #6 (Artiste Royal) - Another runner that likes to come from far back and a fast/contested pace would give him his best chance.
