Top pick: #5 (Legacy Reserve) - A re-claim by a veteran trainer (Guadalupe Preciado) and they paid more for him to get him back. Has a solid record anytime he races for a "tag" and he just missed in his latest. Repeat of that figure earned wins this.
2nd pick: #7 (Putupthestars) - Latest on the turf looks like it should just be ignored as his trainer (Corey Day) probably wanted to see if he could handle it. Colt showed some speed before tiring badly. Moves back to the dirt and drops back to the price ($25,000) taht he finished second at two back. Threat to "steal" this.
3rd pick: #2 (My Son JJ) - Has some sped and will be going two turns again after chasing and tiring in his last pair in shorter contests. Much improved since a claim earlier this year he may sneak away at a square price.
