Top pick: #1 (The Entry of #1 REPENTER and 1a RICH HERO) - Trainer Jamie Ness continues on at a recor pace at this meet and will look to sadle his 40th winner in this contest. He has leading rider Leandro Goncalves listed on both halves of this powerful entry and only one wiil go. No. 1 Repenter has won three of his last four, is 2-for-2 at this meet and No. 1a Rich Hero Has reeled off three in a row in easy wire-to-wire style. Either one can take this.
2nd pick: #5 (Switching to Glide) - Veteran rallied to finish second of six last out, but was no match for "Hero" who defeated him by 3 1/2 lengths. Much improved since being re-claimed by Dave Hinsley after losing him for two starts, and he can factor in the same race exotic bets.
