Top pick: #2 (BRENDYN JO) - Gelding ran a strong race in an "off the turf" race two starts back, so trainer Bret Calhoun has him spotted nicely here in this "optional" claimer on the main track. Veteran has good tactical speed to use and he can win this from just off the top.
2nd pick: #4 (Up and Out of Site) - Strong closer just missed last out and it was his first race in almost four months. He sould be that extra bit sharper today in his second start back.
3rd pick: #6 (One Afternoon) - This $25K "optional" condition is one he raced well at Louisisna Downs for. Moves back to the main-track after a trio of starts on the grass and that should make him competitive again.
