Top pick: #2 (M P RUCKUS) (3-1) - Lightly-raced gelding will be going turf to dirt and dropping down in price for trainer Ed Barker. 4-year-old raced evenly last out, sprinting here on the lawn for a $25K tag and he had a tough inside post in a large field (11). He's raced well on the dirt in the past and should get a solid pace to rally into.
2nd pick: #6 (King Keene) (7-2) - He comes off a career best when beaten a 1/2 lenght here on May 18th. Speed/stalker has had a lot of chances, but a repeat of that last effort makes him a win candidate.
3rd pick: #9 (Sun Catcher) (10-1) - Longshot raced wide and evenly while having some traffic issues here just five days ago. I like the quick turnaround and this colt still has room for upside.
4th pick: #7 (Tangible Assets) (5-2) - Much improved here on My 15th in his second start, colt showed good early speed before tiring to finish a distant third. He's worked since and shortens up a furlong for this attempt.
