Top pick: #3 (CLOSE TO THE EDGE) (5-2) - Speed/stalker moves off the rail after being sent hard while chasing a quick pace here on May 24th. Veteran held gamely to finish third and was claimed that day by Pete Miller for $12.5K. New barn wins at a 19% rate off the claim and he raises him this 7-year-old a bit in price.
2nd pick: #5 (Pure Soverginity) (3-1) - Grey gelding has been freshened up sine early March when he raced both wide and evenly at Oaklawn when facing tougher. Working fast for his return, is in a capable barn (Cody Autrey), and the leading rider at this meet (Jeff Talamo) is aboard.
3rd pick: #1 (Courtside) (4-1) - He has more wins on this strip (four) than any other entered and stalker draws the ground saving rail. In shape, working well, and he should get a fast and/or contested pace to rally into.
