Top pick: #2 (TIGER GRR) - Claimed two months ago by the leading trainer at this meet, Juan Guerrero, this gelding is working fast, is nicely spotted, and Guerrero wins at a 55% first off the claim and 37% off of long breaks. Meets a weak field today and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #4 (Marine Major) - He drops and stretches-out off an even effort last out in a mid-level starter-allowance in his first back off a 2 1/2 month break. Likes the distance and he should get a solid pace to rally into.
3rd pick: #5 (Second That Emotion.) - Three-year-old ran a carer best last out when he missed by a head in a strong pace-setting try in his first facing winners. Tough if he repeats it.
