Top pick: #4 (HOLIDAY RUSH) - Well-bet in his debut at Oaklawn a month ago he was "bounced around" at the start and ran evenly once away. Claimed that day for $50K, his new trainer (Jack Frost) raises him in class and will stretch him out in distance. Gelding by "Harlan's Holiday" can win this with a clean break.
2nd pick: #2 (Alpha Guy) - Improving with each start and this son of "Alphabet Soup" finished third last out at Delta Downs going 7 furlongs in a solid performance. Working fast locally, he draws the rail, and I almost made him the top pick.
3rd pick: #1 (Kid You Not) - Strong finisher come north from Oaklawn where he ran rallied to run second in his last pair racing for $20K. Gelding by "Lemon Drop Kid" has the best two-turn form and is a win candidate.
