Top pick: #7 (SAMHOON ) - Runner has a lot of back class and was as sharp as can be when winning at Finger Lakes on May 3 following a claim by their leading trainer (Chris Englehart) and a subsequent three month freshening. Training nicely since, he's two for three on this surface and draws a nice post at this mile trip. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #3 (Chris Got Even) - Freshened-up for the past seven weeks by the "hot" barn of Nick Zito gelding drops down to the price of his last win (which came here at this distance last fall). Win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (It's Never Too Late) - Delaware shipper has good early speed, is in a dangerous barn (Pete Walder), and likes this distance (6-2-2-1). Fits and is a contender.
