Top pick: #6 (S'MAVERLOUS) (6-5) - The probable favorite, his task was made much easier by the late scratch of #5 'Cleancut Kid.' In career best form, he's dropping a bit after missing by a 'head' here at this 3l condition for a $50K tag June 11. He would have won that afternoon if not for a troubled break. Much the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #3 (Power Crazed) (5-2) - Lightly-raced and well bred, 4-year-old by 'Empire Maker' was a winner at this tag going a mile at Churchill Downs June 4. He cleared the 2l condition that day and was claimed by trainer Steve Asmussen. New barn wins at a 19% rate first off the claim and is cutting this gelding back in distance.
3rd pick: #4 (Mach Seven) (6-1) - Nibbler has gone 6-0-2-3 at this 3l condition this year racing on the dirt. Stalker ran third here at this tag June 17 and is capable of impacting with his normal effort.
