Top pick: #5 (THE UNUSUAL ONE) - Improving colt just missed here 8 days ago in the best effort of his career. Has a flexible style and I like the fact that trainer Barry Abrams brings him back quickly. The top pick in a competitive race.
2nd pick: #7 (Big Cozz) - Probable favorite finished 2nd last out at Del mar at this level and distance in his 2nd back off a 12 1/2 month layoff. Beautifully-bred and in a great barn (Rick Mandella). Obvious win candidate if he repeats his latest.
3rd pick: #8 (Uzziah) - One of a pair from the barn of trainer Humberto Ascanio and they'll race uncoupled. Competitive in all 5 turf starts he has a nice stalking style with the speed to his left in the gate.
