Top pick: #4 (ONE MORE NIGHT) (3-1) - Midwest invader is taking a big drop in class for his first start on the NYRA circuit. Very consistent sort has gone 4-2-0-1 since being claimed by Joe Sharp for $15,000 on Feb 1 at the Fair Grounds. A sharp work here May 31 signals his readiness.
2nd pick: #9 (Chapman) (5-1) - Veteran is dropping down in class for his first since April 4. He was sub par in a pair at Aqueduct at that time following a pair of sharp efforts. He's won here in the past and has also beaten tougher.
3rd pick: #1 (Attractive Ride) (6-1) - A 20-time winner overall and that puts him in a pretty exclusive club. He's moving up in class off a wire-to-wire win here at this trip for a $12.5K tag May 28. Has the rail, plenty of back class, and is a threat at a square price.
4th pick: #3 (Hop Skip and Away) (3-1) - Freshened up since April 22, he was in sharp form at that time for the Steve Klesaris barn. Speed/stalker fits at the level and distance and must be left in the mix.
