Top pick: #6 (TURBO CANNON) (3-1) - Speedy Gulfstream invader has run well there in both starts since returning from almost a seven month layoff on May 11th. Colt has back class and drops to a new low in price for his Tampa debut. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #10 (Dance to the Roar) (10-1) - Longshot runs third off a 2 1/2 month break and will drop to a new low, switch from grass to dirt, and shortens up a bit in distance. Gelding draws a nice post for his speed/stalking style and is a threat at a square price.
3rd pick: #5 (Morning Glass) (10-1) - Consistent sort ran second here at this level on Dec. 28 in his first race in three months and first on real dirt since Aug. of 2011. Can factor at expected long odds.
5th pick: #9 (Najrain) (15-1) - His overall record is poor, but he was competitive here last out at this level and distance and was his first back from a 2 1/2 month layoff and first off a positive trainer switch to Joan Scott.
