Top pick: #2 (CRUZIN WITH CASH) - Claimed two back by trainer Ron Dandy for $7500, gelding just missed facing tougher starter-allowance competition in his first for the new connections. Effort was his best since last January and gelding has plenty of back class. Barn drops him back to the purchase price today and he's the horse to beat if he repeats his last start.
2nd pick: #7 (Jazmaniansupertaz) - Has good speed and tired last out on a sloppy track, which he may not have cared for. Home-bred races second off a barn switch to Juan Guerrero and trainer improves just about everything that comes under his care. Has plenty of speed and must be considered a major player.
3rd pick: #3 (Ridin Hard ) - No-speed runner rallied last out to finish second at this level in his first back off a 5 month layoff. He got a very fast pace to close into that day and may not be as fortunate this afternoon. He's been at this condition a very long time.
