Top pick: #1a (GRAPPLE) - Expensive yearling ($200,000) by "Forest Wildcat" ran his best race to date missing by a nose May 25 at this distance racing for $35,000. He's had almost a month to recover and his barn (Bruce Levine) drops him down to $25,000 this afternoon. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (Winloc's Big D) - Tried rating tactics last out and he rallied late for the place at this level and distance. Winner of that contest came back to take another last Sunday. Obvious threat and exotic's player.
3rd pick: #3 (He Struck It Rich) - He'd finished second seven times in 13 turf starts with the majority of them coming in sprints. Drops after finishin second and third in his last pair running for $35,000. Contender.
