Top pick: #10 (ASSOCIATE) - Triple Crown nominee has been competitive in four of five starts including a pair on the turf earlier in his career. On the sidelines since late Jan., he's training nicely at Saratoga for his return and trainer Linda Rice will drop him into a claimer for the first time. Draws a good post, and can win this from just off the lead.
2nd pick: #6 (East Indies) - Speedy three-year-old just missed at this price and distance May 13th in his first start back off a 6 month layoff. Gelding showed some ability earlier in his career, has fine gate speed, and should be involved today from start to finish.
3rd pick: #9 (Cousin Rich) - Price-play pressed the pace and tired here facing special weights May 5th, and trainer Dave Fawkes drops him back into a claimer and this son of "Cozzene" is working fast for this and Ramon Dominguez gets aboard for the first time. Win candidate at a nice price.
