Top pick: #7 (MY ITALIAN ICES) (3-1) - Debuting colt by "Flower Alley" has some sharp works showing for a capable first out barn (Dom Galluscio 17%). 3-year-old meets a weak field and need not be anything special to win his first public appearance.
2nd pick: #6 (Fiona's Hero) (9-5) - He drops and shortens up in distance after a terrible start, followed by a wide trip here going a mile in the mud facing state-bred special weights on June 8th. A contender on the drop if he breaks cleanly.
3rd pick: #3 (Purple Pico) (10-1) - He enters this off a near miss here at this level and distance and it was a good sign that his "front" bandages came off that afternoon. Can factor with a repeat of his latest.
4th pick: #2 (Everydoghashisday) (4-1) - Gelding by "Bluegrass Cat" has some ability and trainer Gary Contessa will drop him to a new low in this spot. A bullet 3-furlong breeze here six days ago indicates he'll run well.
