Top pick: #8 (ELUSIVE TALMO) (5-1) - Price play has been freshened up for just over 2-months. Well backed in all three starts, he has early speed and is cutting back in distance for this attempt. Working above average, he meets a weak field and has a shot at a square price.
2nd pick: #4 (Manoffire) (5-2) - The probable favorite, he was a 'winner' here at this level and distance May 8. Gelding was disqualified that afternoon and placed 2nd. Last out he rallied to finish 3rd while having some serious traffic issues. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Miroc) (4-1) - On the sidelines since last Nov, gelding finished an even 4th that day at this level and distance on the dirt. Trainer Bob Barbara has him working nicely and 4yo is bred to like the turf.
4th pick: #2 (Proletariat) (15-1) - Another that's trying the grass for the first time. Well bred colt has raced evenly in both starts and can factor today at a very big price.
