Top pick: #5 (BANNER CAT) - You need speed in these abbreviated sprints and this gelding has it and also a fine record (5-2-3-0) in these "straightaway" contests. In shape, from the Chris Richard's barn, and the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #4 (Anthony) - He's nicely spotted in his first off a Marty Lozano claim and this speedball was an easy winner last out when dropped down to $5K for the first time. Very dangerous foe.
3rd pick: #3 (Truly Truly Truly) - He enters this in excellent form and earlier in the meet he just missed in his first try at this 3-furlong distance. Fast from the gate and is in the win mix.
