Top pick: #1 (HAPPY MY WAY) (7-5) - The probable favorite, hard hitter has beaten better fields than this many times in the past. He finished second in this stakes last year and has a great local record 5-4-1-0. Working well, he has the rail and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #2 (Grande Shores) (4-1) - Hard hitting stalker was razor sharp 13-6-6-0 in 2014. He enters with two stakes wins in a row and has won both with strong stretch runs. He likes this course and this is his best distance.
3rd pick: #7 (Happy My Way) (3-1) - New York bred looks next best of this small group. An accomplished sprinter and multiple stakes winner facing fellow New York breds he's working well and his outside post gives jockey Castellano some early options.
