Post: 12:00 PM PT; $72k Allowance Optional Claiming going 1 mile on dirt; Entries: 8

• #8 DOC ADAMS (8-5) gets the top selection. He looks to be the class of the field. This one has tactical speed and can sit just off the leaders for a stalk and pounce trip.
• #7 DONNER LAKE (5-1) should be competitive in this spot. He is a good bet to hit the board in this type of race.
• #4 BIG TALKER (6-1) projects to sit mid pack and come with one run.
• #1 TALKLESSWORKMORE (6-1) isn't without hope. He has to be respected going out for the combination of Ruis and Prat.

Selections: 8 – 7 – 4 – 1
