Premium Pick

Top pick: #3 (TOUCH OF PARADISE) (4-1) - Freshened up since mid-January, he's working steadily for his return. His connections drop him in class and he gets some weight off with apprentice Cancel aboard. Gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #4 (Cat's Landing) (10-1) - Long shot has had eight chances on the dirt and has shown solid speed/stalking ability in most. On the sidelines for just over 2-months, gelding is working well and drops down to this $25K tag for the first time.

3rd pick: #5 (Nine Bears ) (3-1) - Lightly-raced home bred rallied to finish fourth here at this level going 6-furlongs May 29. It was his best to date and he's racing third back from a 4 1/2 month layoff. Stretch threat.

4th pick: #1 (Fortunate Sky) (10-1) - Gelding by 'Sky Mesa' is dropping in class, switching from turf to dirt, and shortening up in distance. Fits with his best and he'll be a big price.
