Top pick: #3 (COSMIC COINCIDENCE) (3-1) - He raced evenly last out while very wide on a sloppy track that favored inside runners six days ago. It was his first off a Dave Jacobson claim, and he brings him back quickly and drops him under the purchase price. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #6 (Invocation) (8-5) - He also raced wide and evenly last out going 1 1/8th miles on the main track. The Asmussen barn drops him in class, cuts him back in distance, and adds blinkers.
3rd pick: #5 (One More Chief) (6-1) - Lightly raced gelding has early speed, drops in class, and goes turf to dirt. Can factor at a square price.
4th pick: #8 (Scare City) (4-1) - He tired badly in two straight facing tougher. Drops, draws a nice outside post, and his early speed in this field must be respected.
