Top pick: #7 (SAY MR. SANDMAN) - He's been competitive in all five starts and will race today for the first time since April 7th. Speed/stalker is in a verry good barn (Chris Englehart) and he'll drop this gelding into a claimer for the first time. Working well and the trainer wins at a solid 28% rtae off of long layoffs.
2nd pick: #6 (New York New York) - Debuting colt has a steady work tab on vieaw and several of the drills indicate he could be a runner. Son of "Wild Desert" is in a capable barn (Mike Hushion) and John Velazquez (5 for 10 for Hushion) is aboard.
3rd pick: #1 (Missile Nick) - He has a bit of speed, draws the rail, and veteran Tom Bush adds blinkers for this attempt. Gelding will be sent hard from his inside draw and should be involved most of the way.
