Top pick: #1 (THE BULL GOT SHOT) - Has the best last race of these when he finished 2nd of 14, beaten a 1/2 length on May 7. Effort came in his 2nd off a 5 1/2 month layoff and he had the 14 post that day. Moves to the rail, has a fine maintenance work since, and can win this with a trouble free trip.
2nd pick: #8 (Gangster Rap) - Working very fast for his first start since early Sep, he finished 2nd to the promising Altius in his debut, then tired after pressing a fast pace in a stakes race. Good small barn (Terry Jordan) has him set for his return.
3rd pick: #12 (Shy Lover) - Gelding has fine early speed and a nice outside post to use it from. Improving, has a good recent breeze, and can impact at a square price.
