Top pick: #11 (SHANE DANIEL) - Takes a big drop in price and will shorten-up a bit for the O'Neill barn. Speed/stalker races third off a long layoff and can win this from just off the pace if he avoids a wide trip. Grey gelding has been competitive in the past facing much tougher than these and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #7 (Brother Ernie) - Has some speed and "Ernie" will race second off a very long vacation. Capable barn (Jorge Periban) brings him back quickly for this (10 days) after he pressed and tired facing similar June 24th. Win candidate at a big price.
3rd pick: #2 (Tempting Solution) - Longshot moves to the rail after a wide and "troubled" trip in his debut facing tougher from an outside post June 12th. In a very good small barn (Dean Peterson) and a threat at a big price.
