Top pick: #5 (HE'S A BANDIT) - Lightly-raced son of "Bandini" was an impressive maiden winner last out at Santa Anita and is working well on this surface for his first facing winners. In a good barn (Kristin Mulhall), he's faces a weak field, and this runner has room for upside. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Got Even) - Another trying winners for the first time following a "gutsy" wire-to-wire win at Santa Anita racing for $40K 5 weeks ago. Working fast, has the best early speed, and is a major threat.
