Top pick: #5 (CAVALLO PAZZO) - Har-hitter arrives here from Delaware in-shape and fresh off a win in a starter-allowance there in his 2nd back off a half-year's absence. Has a sharp work before shipping, is 2 for 4 on this surface, and Dominguez takes the ride. The top choice in a competitive race.
2nd pick: #4 (Starforaday) - He whistled here in a short field June 9th after coming back from a 100 day layoff. Likes the local dirt and he should get a fast/contested pace to rally into. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (African King ) - Returns today from a late January layoff and lightly raced gelding by "Black Mambo" was very sharp at that time, going (8-6-2-0) since trainer Dave Jacobson claimed him in Dec. of "08" at Calder. Contender if ready off the 5 1/2 month vacation.
