Top pick: #7 (READY FOR RAY) (5-2) - He comes into this off a pair of sharp efforts at this tag, the latest a career best from a "figure" standpoint when he ran second at this 3l condition after winning his previous race. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #4 (Ritmo Criollo) (7-2) - Veteran cuts back to a sprint off a long series of two-turn contests wher he was competitive in every one. Strong factor against this crew.
3rd pick: #9 (Ultimate Choice) (5-2) - Gulfstream shipper is sent here off a pair of poor efforts there in his last pair. He'd been sharp before that and his connections drop him a bit and add blinkers.
4th pick: #6 (Roman Along) (6-1) - He had no shot last out following a poor break, but had finished a pace-chasing second at this level in his previuos effort. He has early speed and that makes him a bit dangerous.
