Top pick: #7 (D'WILDBUNCH) - Lightly-raced gelding missed by a 1/2 length here at this this price going 5.5 furlongs two weeks ago and the extra 1/16th he travels today is in his favor. Improving with each outing, and a "clean" trip wins this.
2nd pick: #11 (Ride Captain) - He ran well last out and was two lengths back of "Bunch" at the finish. Blinkers go on this afternoon and this stalker has a sold shot at a square price.
3rd pick: #13 (The Black) - He raced between runners for most of his debut here 13 days ago and that was a pretty tough trip first out facing special weights. Trainer Doug O'Neill brings him back quickly, drops him into a claimer, and removes his blinkers. He'll run better today.
4th pick: #8 (Yes It's Snowing) - Price play ships south from Emerald Downs where he's been competitive in his last pair. Has some speed and a pair of fine local works since arriving. It's a big plus to see Rosario aboard this invader.
