Top pick: #12 (BIG JAY) - He has the best recent form and five-year-old draws a nice outside post. Speed/stalker is training nicely for his first start in two months and he's the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (Diplo) - He's proven competitive in most of his eight starts and is in a good barn (Doug O'Neill). Gelding by "Pleasant Tap" gets to race over his "home" track for the first time. Threat.
3rd pick: #4 (Big Wags) - Much-improved run last out when he was dropped into a claimer for the first time as he stalked and finished a close-up third. Drops down another level and must be left in the small win mix.
