Top pick: #4 (CLASHER) - Nice effort last out saw him involved in a pace-duel thru fast splits and check-in 2nd of 9, beaten 3 lengths racing at this price just 16 days ago. Race was his first in almost 3 months and trainer Manny Ortiz brings him back quickly and has him making back to back starts for the first time.
2nd pick: #2 (He's Busted) - Nice race two back saw him finish 3rd after "bobbling" at the start facing tougher, then track, bid, and finish 3rd going a mile at this tag. Cuts-back in distance and he's a win candidate in this spot.
3rd pick: #7 (Midnight Cocktail) - He raced evenly last out and was only 2 1/2 lengths back of Clasher at the finish. Nice effort and he can factor this afternoon with a slight move forward.
