Top pick: #2 (VANQUISHER) - He cuts-back in distance and this one-run type ran well in his latest to finish fourth as the pace scenario did not favor his style. He's two for four on this surface and has a "bullet" drill at his Tampa home-base before shipping here. That work should have him a bit sharper for this shorter contest.
2nd pick: #3 (Kiss the Kid) - Veteran stakes performer has carved out a solid career for himself against top competition. He'll be racing at a shorter distance than he's accustomed to and will need to try and get involved a bit earlier.
