Top pick: #4 (BUDDY'S AFLEET) (6-5) - The probable favorite, $210K yearling purchase has been freshened up since a pair of encouraging efforts early in the year facing state-bred special weights on the inner-surface at Aqu. He's training fine, runs for a "hot" barn (Bruce Levine), and the veteran trainer drops him into a claimer for the first time.
2nd pick: #1 (Streets of Fire) (10-1) - Well-bred gelding will be raing on the dirt after a series of five starts on the grass to begin his career. 3-year-old by "Street Sense" should be fit for this attempt and he's hinted at some ability on the turf facing better. "Live" longshot.
3rd pick: #7 (Navajo Ca Lo) (6-1) - No-speed type comes off a distant third-place finish here in a small foeld (5) going a mile for a $50K tag. He's worke well since on the training track at Saratoga, but will need to do better today for any shot at the first prize.
4th pick: #2 (Beachview Two) (5-1) - Lightly raced, he has more natural speed than most and is working fast for his first start since April 18th. In a capable barn (Rick Violette) and dangerous.
