Top pick: #6 (STOPBLUFFING) - Hard-hitting veteran won last out facing slightly weaker foes here at this mile trip. Stalker is in-shape and has spent the past year running at this level with many sharp tries. Can "upset" the field at a nice price.
2nd pick: #5 (City Trooper) - Talented three-year-old is working fast up at Saratoga for his first race since last April. He's been in against tougher in most of his starts and is nicely spotted today under these conditions. Win threat.
3rd pick: #8 (Slevin) - He raced poorly at this level and distance June 4 in his first back off a seven month layoff but has a sharp drill since and Dominguez climbs aboard for the first time. Set for a big effort.
