Top pick: #10 (DRAMA KING) (8-5) - He enters off a pair of excellent efforts in back-to-back starts. Colt won a 7-furlong, high-level starter allowance at Aqueduct April 10, then ran 2nd here at this level and distance June 4. Trainer Rudy Rodriguez has worked him five times since, and 32yo draws a perfect outside post for this one-turn mile.
2nd pick: #8 (All About Ashley) (6-1) - Colt has been sharp in all six starts this year. Speed/stalker moves back to the dirt after missing by less than a length here June 12 at this distance and level on the local turf. In shape, has a flexible style, and should be involved from start-to-finish.
3rd pick: #1 (One Sided) (5-1) - Lightly raced and well bred, he's been freshened up since breaking his maiden here going 6.5-furlongs May 25. Competitive in all three outings, son of 'Quality Road' is working sharply at Monmouth for trainer Todd Pletcher. Win candidate.
4th pick: #4 (Colorado Grandslam) (8-1) - He tired to finish 3rd, 5-lengthys behind 'Drama King' last out. He pressed a very quick pace and held gamely until the final furlong. He had won his previous pair and must be left in the mix.
