Top pick: #2 (SLEW CITY GOLD) - Turf Paradise shipper was very sharp there earlier this year going (2-1-1) in four starts for the high-octane barn of Mike Chambers. Working sharply on the local surface for his first in almost two months and he's the horse to beat if 100%.
2nd pick: #1 (Blue Sky Dragon) - Speedy veteran was an impressive wire-to-wire winner here May 17th at this tag and trainer Jon Arnett brings him back quickly for this dash. Latest effort was his best since last fall when he proved that he can string good starts together.
3rd pick: #1a (Ghost Smasher) - Coupled with "Dragon", he finished second his stable-mate in a solid perormance in his first ever on this surface. Always comes to run and is a win candidate.
