Top pick: #7 (SELDOM SEEN SLIM) (5-1) - Lightly-raced and well-bred, 3-year-old will be moving from turf-to-dirt and trainer Dave Jacobson drops his price in half. Son of "Bernardini" ran a career best figure last out and can take this at a square price.
2nd pick: #4 (Arch Avenger) (8-5) - The morning line favorite, he's been racing evenly facing much tougher and trainer Todd Pletcher drops him down from a $50K tag to run for $20,000. Colt cost $425,000 as a yearling back in 2012 and the barn looks to be dumping him while picking up a purse. Strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Sampson County) (4-1) - He raced evenly from the rail as the heavy favorite here at this tag on May 7th. It was his first start just over three months and gelding was claimed that day by trainer Laura Perillo for the powerful Midwest Thoroughbred operation. Factors in this spot.
4th pick: #3 (Ignatius) (12-1) - His trainer (Nick Zito) has won three races over the past two days and this gelding by "Giant's Causeway" raced evenly while extremely wide in his latest. Can impact at a square price.
