Top pick: #9 (HOT TICKET ITEM) - Involved from start to finish last out this gelding by "Orientate" settled for 2nd, beaten abit more than a length defeating several of today's rivals in the process. Lightly raced, improving, in a winning barn (Randy Morse), and the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (Xtra Spicy) - He rallied last out to finish 3rd, only a head back of "Item". Race was his best yet and came 2nd back off a 4 month layoff. Stretch factor again this evening.
3rd pick: #1 (Vivalafreddie) - He's shown good early speed facing tougher in both his starts and has a sharp drill here just 6 days ago. The rail is his for the taking and he should be involved from gate to wire.
