Top pick: #4 (MAKE A FORTUNE) (6-5) - The probable favorite, he's one of two entered by trainer Dave Jacobson, and the pair race uncoupled. He has plenty of speed, is in shape, and holds a big class edge on this group. Much the horse to beat.

2nd pick: #2 (Mystic Strike) (4-1) - The second of the Jacobson pair, he's racing back into shape following several layoffs. Much like his barn-mate, 5yo has early speed, back class, and is dropping to a new low in class. The likely winner if "Make a Fortune" scratches.

3rd pick: #6 (Harlan's Hello) (8-1) - He's returned from a near catastrophic injury three years ago and ran both wide and evenly in his return start here on June 6. Could grab a share as he drops down a bit and is brought back on short notice (17 days).

4th pick: #5 (Patriotic Duty) (20-1) - He's already making his 14th start of 2014, and his form has slipped in his last pair. Longshot drops down a bit and could get a minor award at a big price, as once past the Jacobson pair, this field has more questions than answers.
