Top pick: #5 (IMRELOADED) (3-1) - He's the main speed in today's finale and will be dropping to a new low, goes turf to dirt, and races second back following a Dave Duggan claim and a subsequent two month freshening. Gelding tired after pressing fast fractions going 7 furlongs on the grass here racing for a $25K tag on June 23rd and has worked since. All things look like a go.
2nd pick: #4 (M P Ruckus) (7-2) - Sparingly raced Jersey-bred has finished second in three of six starts, including two in a row here at this tag and trip. Gelding has a flexible style and last out finished a distant second to a "much the best" winner who came right back to take another.
3rd pick: #6 (Gamble) (20-1) - Longshot exits the same June 23rd turf contest as "Imreloaded" and he raced evenly while wide to check in 3 1/2 lengths back of that rival. Barn drops him to a new low and grey gelding had a bullet 3 furlong breeze 6 days ago.
4th pick: #8 (Opposing Parties) (8-1) - Lightly raced and well-bred, he has a bit of speed and will be taking a big drop in price and shortening up in distance. Three-year-old has been bet in his last pair facing tougher and may have hidden talent tha hasn't come out yet.
5th pick: #9 (Velocci) (5-1) - He enters off a career best when he rallied to finish third here at this tag and trip on June 6th. However, he was almost three lengths back of "Ruckus" that afternoon and his lack of any early speed may limit him to another small slice.
