Top pick: #5 (F C BARCELONA) - Much improved race last out in his 2nd back off a long layoff( almost a year). Under-rated barn (Juan Guerrero) has him positioned well for a strong try in his 3rd start back off the long rest.
2nd pick: #7 (Silver Coin) - Goes 3rd off a Richard Vega claim and drops down some for this attempt. Nice try in his first for the new barn facing $25,000 stock, then raced wide on a "sloppy" track ( a tough combination on this surface last out). He's a strong win candidate today.
