Top pick: #3 (BRANDON'S TROPHY) - Claimed out of a solid 2nd place finish last out by W."Bret" Calhoun. New trainer immediately puts blinkers on him and that may help cure his affinity for finishing 2nd and 3rd.
2nd pick: #8 (Big Mean Green) - He finished 3rd last right behind the top pick. Race was his first effort since August and the first time he ran for a claiming price. A slight move forward in his 2nd off the break could win this.
3rd pick: #10 (Pure Carbon) - Speedy sort tired late going a mile last out and will cut back to a sprint today. Has some back class and could prove tough on the front-end.
