Top pick: #1 (KEEN BIDDER) - Veteran turf performer did well earlier in his career facing much tougher in So. California and is 3-for-5 on this course since switching locales last fall. English-bred tired to finish fourth last out after being involved in a pace-duel in his first back off a six-week break. Has the hedge, a flexible style, and is the choice in a competitive contest.
2nd pick: #3 (F D Icy) - Another speed/stalker, he's finished second in both previous grass attempts and last out he was 3 1/2 lengths better than "Bidder". Gelding is (7-3-2-0) since joining the barn of Chad Story and is a win candidate in this spot.
3rd pick: #4 (Bodacat) - He exits the same last race as the top two picks, and he split that pair with a strong late rally. He's raced himself back into shape following an 80-day break late last year and this 9-furlong trip is a positive for his late running style.
