Top pick: #3 (HEDGEFUND INVESTOR) - Looms the main speed and he'll be moving back to the grass after tiring last out in an "off the turf" contest when he set a very fast pace. Claimed two back by the Scott Lake barn, gelding is properly spotted this afternoon.
2nd pick: #1 (Riptide) - Claimed out of a win on April 25, he'll run today for trainer Joe Imperio for the first time. He could go either way off the barn change but Prado taking the re-ride is a plus.
3rd pick: #5 (Dancing Tin Man) - Likes to rally from far back and he's always done his best work on this course. He just missed going seven furlongs on April 30, his first back off a layoff and a similar scenario last May produced a win. Pace today may not favor his style.
