Top pick: #6 (Pecan Nut ) - Veteran just missed last out at this level and distance on the Stockton dirt and he runs today in a third off a layoff situation. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #8 (Trip to the Ranch ) - Lightly raced and in a top barn (Steve Sherman) he was right off of "Pecan" last out and did so while being involved from start to finish. Draws a nice post for his speed/stalking style and he's a win canditae this afternoon.
3rd pick: #7 (Lunch Time ) - Deep-closer was only a lengthe off of "Pecan" last out and that was his first race in seven months. In a winning barn (Steve Miyadi) and a strong win factor if he moves forward in his second back.
