Top pick: #3 (UNIONIZE) - Speedy, very consistent, he's 3-for-7 on this surface, and 2-for-3 at this trip. Has plenty of back class to call upon and Russell Baze is back aloft. Very tough from on, or just off the lead.
2nd pick: #4 (Dr. J J) - He's one of a pair entered by trainer Ed Moger Jr. and they'll race as separate interests. He finished second last out in a small field facing $5K foes and will drop back to the local bottom for this. Gelding won two in a row last fall here at this price and has faced better in every start since. Win candidate.
