Top pick: #4 (TRIBAL DUDE) (3-1) - The probable favorite, colt hasn't raced in just under a year and was beaten a nose at that time facing state-bred special weights at Hollywood Park. Working well and 4-year-old can take this if ready.
2nd pick: #1 (Navarre) (6-1) - English import rallied to finish third here at this distance facing a bit tougher on May 10th. Race was his second since returning from a 5 1/2 month layoff in late March and he can factor with a repeat of it.
3rd pick: #6 (Superboot) (9-2) - Speedy Irish import moves up in class and goes dirt to turf in his first off a Pete Miller claim. Gelding fits and his ability to stay close up early makes him a win candidate.
4th pick: #9 (Argentine) (12-1) - No-speed type is dropping in class and shortening up in distance, Colt by "Candy Ride" should show whatever he has in this spot.
5th pick: #3 (Red Globe) (6-1) - Another with no early speed, he rallied from far back to "neck" "Navarre" out of the place spot on May 10th. Gelding needs some pace help for any shot at the top prize.
