Top pick: #10 (WAKE UP AND GO) (5-2) - Gelding raced both wide & evenly here facing tougher at this distance on May 21. It was a his first in two months and trainer Danny Gargan brings him back quickly, drops him down, and adds blinkers. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #7 (Ride of Your Life.) (7-2) - Another dropping in class, this $50K son of "Candy Ride" is in a top barn (Bill Mott), has been bet in each start, and has blinkers on for this attempt. Dangerous foe.
3rd pick: #1 (Rontos New York) (2-1) - Stretch out sprinter showed immediate improvement when moved to the grass in his second start, and will be dropping in class for this attempt. Has the rail and is a win threat.
4th pick: #5 (Born in Brooklyn) (3-1) - Freshened up since April 19, gelding ran a career best "figure" that afternoon facing tougher on the Aqu. lawn. Drops in class and has "California Chromes" rider Victor Espinoza aboard.
5th pick: #4 (Mineral Water) (7-2) - Longshot runs third back from a six week break and is stretching out in distance. He has some closing kick and should get a fast and/or contested pace to rally into.
