Top pick: #2 (JESS Z) - Has the best early speed and he's drop into a career soft spot this afternoon. Likes the surface (4-0-1-3) and is the horse to catch and beat (reverse those exactas).
2nd pick: #1 (Luckofthestars) - Just missed last out here at this level and distance in his first ever on this surface. Has the rail and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Fly Candyman Fly) - Lightly raced and improving, he debuted here last year and has a pair of sharp races at Turf Paradise heading into this. Win candidate.
