Top pick: #3 (SQUALLCREEK) - Races second off a Canani claim and gelding chased and finished third last out in his return racing for twice this price. Has a lot of back class and has a win on conventional dirt in his past. Has three published drills since his last race and looks like much the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #4 (Souvenir Slew) - Won here at this price eight days ago in an impressive performance. Raced was only his fourth since March and he has a fine record on this surface (3-1-2-0) and is a win threat again this afternoon.
