Top pick: #5 (FULL DANCER) (8-5) - Veteran speedball has more lifetime wins (11) than the rest of this field combined (five). Grey gelding is the main speed, the level and distance are fine, and he's the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Song to You) (3-1) - Well bred gelding is moving from turf to dirt after breaking slowly last out on the Del Mar turf. He has the rail, a stalking style, and has gone 4-1-2-0 racing on conventional dirt in the past.
3rd pick: #2 (Celebrity Status) (2-1) - One run type comes off a pair of solid efforts at this level racing on the Del Mar "poly." He's winless on real dirt, but has been competitive several times on it. He must be left in the three-horse win mix.
