Top pick: #1a (RESERVED QUALITY) (3-1) - He's part on an entry with #1 JOAN'S CHOICE and trainer Dave Jacobson has separate riders listed on both halves. This veteran is in top form and stalker has gone 9-2-3-2 so far in 2014. He ships from Monmouth off of three straight second-place finishes and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #2 (Denzel) (6-1) - Colt has finished second in five of his last six starts and was only a "nose" back of "Reserved Quality" when they met at Aqu. in late April. Strong finisher has the rail and has run well at this 7-furlong trip in the past.
3rd pick: #7 (Bet the Power) (7-2) - Old-timer has an outstanding record on dirt 31-10-9-2 and is 2-for-4 on wet surfaces. Speed/stalker drops in class after a good effort here on June 12th. In the mix.
4th pick: #8 (Cast a Doubt) (12-1) - Longshot has back class and enters off a solid third-place finish here at this level on June 13th. Draws a nice post and stalker has all the speed to his left in the gate. Price play.
