Selections 3-4-8-1 Rating 2 stars
#3 Major Attraction-finished second two back and was claimed for 10k. New trainer moved him up to 16k last out and he finished second again missing by only 2 lengths. He drops a notch to 12.5k and that will make him tough to hold off.
#4 Honorary Degree-went wire to wire to win by 5 lengths last out while being claimed. New trainer moves him up in class and will send him to the front.
#8 Brother Aaron-rallied to miss by only 5 against tougher 25k claimers last out. He drops to 12.5k and that will help his chances at a price.
#1 Sidetown-came off a 4 month layoff last out and opened up a 5 length lead right from the start but tired late as the beaten favorite. Rosario rides him right back and this colt will be fit and ready today.

#7 La Flecha-ran well in three straight while finishing second in all three then moved up in class for the third straight time last out and did not run a step against 50k maidens. He drops down to 30k and is the one the to beat.
#3 Clancy’s Pistol-showed little in his debut while taking on MSW runners then dropped to this same 30k level for his second start and finished third. He adds blinkers and should run into the payoffs.

#10 Very Spicy-rallied to finish second last out beaten just a length and a half. She is improving and should run into the payoffs.
#9 Grapevine- finished just four lengths behind our second pick last out while coming off a 5 month layoff and should improve.
#2 Mercury Head-so far our “don’t take a three year old against older” is a perfect one for one as our four year old top pick beat the 3 year old favorite by about 10 lengths on Saturday. Here is another 3 year old taking on older and let’s see how the program second choice fares.
