Top pick: #5 (RODDICKTON) - He's won three in a row at three different tracks, including a good-looking win here in an entry-level allowance May 25th. Lightly raced 5-year-old appears to have found a new life on the turf course and is much improved since coming back from a long layoff this past Jan. Stalker should like this 9-furlong distance and can win this with a repeat of his latest effort.
2nd pick: #2 (En Fuego) - "Long-winded" home-bred by "El Prado" is 2-for-4 on this surface and is training nicely at Saratoga for his first race since late Apr. at Keeneland. Grey gelding tries hard every time, has enough tactical speed to stay close, and is a win candidate with a late rush.
3rd pick: #6 (Mr. Vegas) - Speedy gelding takes a big step up in class today after a wire-to-wire win here going a mile facing $25K-optional state-breds June 4th. Four-year-old has been competitive in the past facing tough open company, and his early speed makes him dangerous.
