Top pick: #5 (Goodbye Charlie) - He raced evenly here facing tougher, going longer a week ago and did so despite a slow start. Race was his first since April 28th and trainer Jeff Metz brings him back quickly, drops him to a new low, and shortens him up in distance. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #2 (Heavy Handed) - Unraced in 11 months, he's working fine for his first off the long break. Trainer Bob Hess Jr. adds blinkers and this 5-year-old showed fine early speed when in racing shape.
3rd pick: #3 (We Be Good) - Well-backed in her first pair at Del mar home-bred filly showed fine early speed in each before tiring. Runs off a private trainer change to Jerry Fanning and he drops her price in half and has her on real dirt. Can factor as she takes on male rivals
