Top pick: #1 (TURN ON THE PUMPS) - Lightly-raced gelding by "Kitten's Joy" is improving in each outing and has the best early speed of this field. Trainer Carla Gaines brings him back in 22 days for this and and home-bred draws the rail. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #10 (Minister d'Oro) - The probable favorite is (0-1-2) in his last three starts and has a bullet drill here just six days ago. He draws another tough post but is a win candidate nontheless.
3rd pick: #3 (Checkmark) - 5yo has finished second in three of four starts since returning from a 16 month layoff in early April. Likes to make a late run and he must be left in the final mix.
