Top pick: #1 (CHARGE LATOUCHE) (7-2) - Colt improved dramatically when switched to the grass in his second start. Home bred by 'More Than Ready' rallied while 7-wide to finish a fast-closing 4th of 11, beaten 2 1/2 lengths. He moves from the 11-post to the rail and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #8 (Payment Terms) (4-1) - He took a bit of late betting action when debuting here May 31 at this level and distance. $105K gelding by 'Freud' raced close up and rallied late to check in 3rd of 11, beaten 2-lengths. He's worked since, is in a good barn (Gary Gullo), and is an obvious threat.
3rd pick: #9 (Euros to Dollars) (10-1) - Grey gelding debuts off a steady work tab for a 20% first-out barn (Brian Lynch). Three of his six a.m. drills are on the quick side and it's noted that John Velazquez is aboard.
4th pick: #10 (Manoffire) (7-2) - Gelding was a winner here at this level and distance in fast time May 8. Unfortunately, he was disqualified and placed second for bearing in on a rival in the last 1/16th of a mile. Five-year-old draws a tough outside post and meets a stronger field. Can factor, but holds no real advantage.
