Top pick: #11 (CHANDAS) - Has a best form by far and last out finished a strong 2nd at this level and distance. Faces a field without much early speed so this post 11 shouldn't hurt his chances very much. Working fast, in Asmussen barn, and he's the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #8 (Uncle Booty) - No speed gelding rallied out to finish 3rd here at this level in distance. Race was his first in 2 1/2 months and he should move forward off of it. The faster the pace the better his chances.
3rd pick: #2 (Lucky Raja) - Draws the rail and if the situation is right he can be a strong finisher. Did not run well here last out in his first ever on this surface, and he'll need to do much better this evening.
