Top pick: #8 (CASUAL REWARD) - Runs 2nd off a Steve Asmussen and this colt tired going longer in his first for the new barn. 3yo has a nice work on June 12, will drop back to the claimed level, and Asmussen cuts him back in distance. The top selection.
2nd pick: #4 (Bigasmar) - The probable favorite ships back from Fort Erie where he tired after chasing a fast pace on conventional dirt 16 days ago. Has good early speed, drops to a new low, and leading trainer Contreras is aboard. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Boxing Ring) - He ran very poorly last out in his 3rd back off a layoff but had been competitive in his previous pair. Could be a big factor if you're willing to forgive his latest.
