Top pick: #12 (CRISPEY COREY) - Gelding finished second at this price May 21st when his trainer Doug Cecil dropped him into a claimer for the first time. Home-bred had been competitive a number of times facing tougher and has come back with a fast work since his latest, draws a nice outside post, and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #4 (Rosie Agreed) - Off slowly in his debut, he raced evenly once in stride and finished 6 1/2 lengths back of Crispey Corey. Good barn brings him back quickly and he could contend at a nice price with an alert start.
3rd pick: #6 (Rocque's Gold) - Working nicely on this surface for his first race since Mar. of 2010, he runs off a trainer switch to Bob Troeger and could factor at a big price if ready off the long layoff.
4th pick: #8 (Quietly Waiting) - Professional maiden is making start No. 25 and gelding appears to be better on this surface then he is elsewhere. Four-year-old has finished second in two straight at this price and should be competitive again this evening.
