Top pick: #4 (DYNAMIC FORCE) - Has a win here last out facing weaker but is in a barn (Chris Richard) that's capable of having them improve suddenly. The top selection.
2nd pick: #7 (Brian the Brave) - Has great form in California on synthetics and if he duplicates it here on dirt they're all in trouble. But that's a big "if" and at a short price. Contender.
3rd pick: #1 (Merkel) - Has the rail, some good tactical speed, is accustomed to facing tougher, and is in a winning barn (Tim Martin). Contender.
