Top pick: #5 (RUTHERFORD B) - Improving gelding has run much better in his last pair and they came when trainer John Kimmel dropped this 3-year-old by "Quiet American" down to this price tag. Just last Sat he pressed the pace while wide and tired in the last furlong to finsh 5th of 9, beaten 4 lengths. He's brought back quickly for this and stretches-out to a mile.
2nd pick: #7 (Pure Nature) - Nice effort here at this price on May 5th saw him race close-up through-out and finish evenly. Effort was his best to date and came in his second back off 11 month layoff. Stretches-out, draws a good post, and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Ali's Winner) - Since dropping down to this price on March 9th, he's become more competitive and last out on May 10th he rallied to finish second going 7 furlongs. Effort was his best ever and the faster the pace, the better his chances.
