Top pick: #7 (MITIGATION) - He just failed last out at this level and distance in his second start off a claim by the sharp Mike Maker barn. Loves artificial footing (11-3-2-3) and has been especially sharp on this surface (6-3-2-0). Draws a nice post and he'll be very tough to beat this afternoon.
2nd pick: #1 (Parioli's TRick) - Has good early speed and he draws the rail. Lightly-raced gelding moves up for this, but won here in impressive fashion last out against weaker in his first ever on this surface. Looks like the main danger.
