Top pick: #8 (MODEST) - Gulfstream shipper was sharp in his last pair before shipping and has been freshened up for the past 7 weeks by trainer Barclay Tagg. Colt by "Pulpit" has a flexible style and a nice post for this trip as he sits outside of the speed. The top selection.
2nd pick: #2 (Herecomeseveryman) - One of three entered by trainer Linda Rica and this colt will race seperate from the other pair who are coupled. Improving and lightly raced, he missed by a head facing cheaper April 22 at Gulfstream and is a win candidate with a repeat of that effort.
3rd pick: #7 (Soul Silence) - Son of Bernardini was claimed out of his debut by trainer Mark Vitali and finished a pace-setting 2nd last out in his first for the new barn. Race was his first on the grass and they move him way up in price for his New York debut.
