Top pick: #7 (INDUSTRY LEADER) (5-1) - He just missed here at this level going 6.5-furlongs on Jan. 3. It was his first off a seven week freshening and he's now gone 5-1-3-0- since dropping down to this claiming price.
2nd pick: #6 (Sheer Talent) (7-2) - Stalker is dropping to a new low while racing third back off a pair of layoffs. Gelding was a classier runner not too long ago and can factor for the win.
3rd pick: #5 (American Act) (6-1) - He has plenty of back class and is racing first off a Kitchingman claim (18%). More accustomed to longer distance, he'll need to come from off the pace against this speedy group.
4th pick: #3 (Pray Hard) (4-1) - Another that's dropping in class and he's also running for the first time since late June. Training well, he's won here in the past and is a threat if ready.
5th pick: #9 (Zippingaroundtown) (12-1) - Alway's the main speed when he runs, he's racing for the first time since late Sept. Working very fast, gelding will take them as far as he can.
