Top pick: #7 (LONE TRADER) (5-1) - Value play is shortening up a furlong and draws a nice outside post for this 7-furlong turf contest. He enters off a career best 'figure' going a mile here May 9. $250K purchase has a speed/stalking style and can take this at a square price.
2nd pick: #1 (Ice Field) (8-5) - Home bred son of 'Street Cry' is the probable heavy favorite. He rallied along the inside to miss by a 'nose' here at this level May 22 in his first ever on the turf. He has the rail, and the added furlong should be a plus for him. Obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Fourth of July) (5-2) - Another son of 'Street Cry,' he rallied strongly to miss by a 'head' here April 29 going 6-furlongs on the grass. Working well since, and this $235,000 purchase must be left in the 3-horse win mix.
4th pick: #3 (Tiz Time to Shake) (15-1) - He has no early speed and faces a pretty talented small group in this spot. A small slice at a big price is his ceiling.
