Top pick: #6 (CANDY HEART) - Recent maiden winner did so in his first off a Keith Lebarron claim in what was this 4-year-old's best ever. Nicely spooted in his first facing winners and he's the choice to make it two in a row.
2nd pick: #1 (Lord of Arete) - 5yo by "Include" hasn't run since last July but has been competitive in all six of his starts and is working well for his return. Stretch threat from close range if ready.
3rd pick: #3 (Surprise Storm) - Also trained by "Lebarron" and the two geldings will race as separate interests. He tired badly last out while racing wide in the slop but can contend today at a square price.
