Top pick: #5 (CANAVAL) - Comes back from just over a two month layoff for the top barn of Neil Drysdale. Fields most experienced runner has run too good to lose in three of his six lifetime starts. Very tough to beat here.
2nd pick: #4 (General Buffet) - Good speed shown last out in his second back from a eight-month layoff for trainer Mike Puype. Stretches-out and will also be trying the turf course today. Working swiftly and he's a threat on the front end.
3rd pick: #6 (Blasterman) - Another "Puype" runner, this one is bred for the grass and he made some late progress in his debut after being away slowly. Clean break and he'll be heard from late.
