Top pick: #6 (OUR ELI) - Obvious selection finished a pace-setting 2nd last out in a mile race at this level and will be shortening up in distance for this attempt. Race was the best of his 6 race career and he'll be tough in this spot.
2nd pick: #4 (Suave Fox) - Sharp Finger Lakes barn (Tony Ferraro) ships this gelding down for his first ever on the grass. Speey runner ran 2nd in his seasonal debut April 22 and that was his first off a half-year's absence. Price play has Cornelio Velasquez aloft, so the barn likes his chances.
3rd pick: #1 (Dream Drop Kid) - Speedy colt tired while racing wide in a dirt sprint at Aqueduct April 9, and trainer Dom Galluscio moves him to the grass this afternoon. Working fast and he's bred to love turf racing.
