Top pick: #2 (SMILE OF SUCCESS) - Gelding is sent here by a top barn at Charles Town (Jeff Runco) after he ran poorly there after coming back from a three month break. Some horses just don't care for a small track and this 6-year-old meets a very weak field in this spot. The top pick.
2nd pick: #1 (Annika's Love) - He has the best last out of any when he set/pressed the pace in a 6-furlong sprint here and held gamely to run second. Stretches-out in distance, has the rail, and I almost put him on top.
3rd pick: #8 (Money Player) - Veteran has some back class and a good stretch kick. Seven-year-old by "Smart Strike" has races in his past that would win this and his latest effort wasn't bad.
