Top pick: #3 (FREE UP GRADE) - Speedy three-year-old has run a pair of strong races after shipping here from the west coast. He'll make his third straight start for a new trainer, having been claimed last out by Tim Ritchey. Gelding has the best speed and can win this wire-to-wire.
2nd pick: #6 (Western Pirate) - Won his last impressively, but was disqualified for a late lane change. He's in very good shape at present and a repeat effort of his latest could win this.
