Top pick: #4 (MONEY CANNON) (7-2) - He enters in fine form and will be racing first off a Kristin Mulhall claim (23%) and his two wins on this surface equals the total of the others combined. Gelding has a flexible style and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #2 (Too Fast to Pass) (5-2) - Very fast from the gate, he goes first off a Hollendorfer claim (37%) and this 4-year-old has a fine record on conventional dirt (12-3-2-2). Working fast since the barn switch and a major threat.
3rd pick: #5 (Great Friends Rule) (6-1) - He also has early speed and will be dropping down a bit and going turf-to-dirt in his second off a Bob Diodoro claim. He's won on this surface in the past and is in the three-horse win mix.
