Top pick: #5 (MILLER'S MINT) - He appears to be the main speed of this party and that's a dangerous element. Improving at this point, he looks very tough in this spot from on, or just off the lead if someone else takes the initiative. The top selection.
2nd pick: #4 (Pegasian) - Working sharply for his first race since May 16 when he finished second at this level going seven furlongs on the turf. Equally adept on grass or dirt, his work on June 8 was a real eye-opener. Dangerous foe.
3rd pick: #2 (Captain's Sword) - He's finished second in three of his last four for trainer Enrique Arroyo. Gelding exits his best race ever, a second-place finish at this distance facing $25,000 "open" claimers. Fits here and is a win threat.
