Top pick: #3 (BIG CITY PAT) - Speed/stalker ships back from Charles Town where he raced wide from an outside post just five days ago. Previous effort saw him win on this surface facing slightly weaker and he can take this from either on or just off the lead.
2nd pick: #9 (G. Poli ) - Six-year-old won here facing weaker 11 days ago in his first start back off a five month layoff. Capable of putting good starts together and this speed/stalker has some back class to call upon. Draws a good post for his style and is a threat.
3rd pick: #2 (Bea's Treasure) - Grey gelding broke slowly in his latest and raced very wide while making up some ground during the running. Has good early speed and in his previous pair had set the pace in both and went wire-to-wire at this price June 5 at River Downs. In the high-percentage barn of Joe Woodard and a win candidate in this spot.
