Top pick: #9 (DOUBLE DOWN VINMAN) - "Grizzled" veteran just missed here at this level on Sept. 1st in his best effort since returning from a seven month layoff in late July. Speed/stalker has 10 local wins to his credit and can take this from just off the lead.
2nd pick: #8 (Spirit of Cochise) - He finished fourth in the same Sept. 1 contest "Vinman" and was 3 lengths back of him at the finish. Has plenty of back class and will be racing third off a seven week break during the height of the summer. Price play.
3rd pick: #3 (Sok Sok) - He also exits the same last race as the top pair and he raced close up before weakening in the final 1/16th. Fits, draws a fine post for his style, and you'll get a top barn ("Lupe" Preciado) at a nice price.
