Top pick: #12 (REGWELL) - Ness trained gelding won his last in "smart" fashion, and was probably best in his previous race. In shape and moves up a condition, and believe he's up to the task.
2nd pick: #1 (Flying Palm) - He's nine for 27, but has begun to slide down in class of late. Still is capable against this type, and he draws the rail. Win threat.
3rd pick: #3 (Mahvelous Bert) - Claimed last out when he finished second as the favorite. Very consistent runner has won or placed in nine of his last 10 starts. Exotic's factor.
