Top pick: #13 (BEYOND EMPIRE) (7-2) - Lightly-raced and well-bred, he chased and held to finish second at this level and distance on April 18th at Aqueduct. Race was his first since last June and he's since come back with a pair of sharp local works.
2nd pick: #7 (Frost Jordan) (6-1) - Colt has been competitive in all his starts (5-1-2-2) and enters off a "head" loss at this trip facing a bit weaker at Aqu. on April 16th. He's worked well since and one-run type has a sold shot at square price in today's wide open finale.
3rd pick: #3 (Salisbury Knight) (3-1) - He tries winners for the first time following a solid maiden win here at this distance on a sloppy surface May 8th. He's worked well since and this $290,000 yearling purchase has room for upside.
4th pick: #9 (Here Comes Tommy) (5-1) - He comes to run every time and has put together three straight solid efforts racing at this level. Stalker finished a close up third here on May 1st and is racing second off almost a seven week break.
5th pick: #4 (Here He Fitz) (8-1) - He enters off a career best when beaten 1 1/2 lengths here on May 1st. He was forced extremely wide that day and still was only a "head" back of "Tommy." Price play in this spot.
