Top pick: #6 (REAL BRIAN) - Races off a five week break following a re-claim by trainer Keith Lebarron. Has talent and is lightly raced. Has a solid shot at a nice price.
2nd pick: #1 (Margarita Shot) - West Coast invader has never race on real dirt and an "off" one at that. Has plenty of class on these and trainer Doug O'Neill has done well with those he has sent here from California. Win threat if she takes to the surface.
3rd pick: #5 (Champagneforachamp) - Logical contender has many good efforts at this level, but has a bit of "hang" in him. Nontheless speed/stalker must be left in the mix.
