Top pick: #10 (SHINNECOCK BAY) (5-2) - Grey gelding by "Two Punch" has improved noticeably since moving to the turf and just failed to hold on last out when beaten by a more seasoned rival. Speed/stalker has worked well since, gets blinkers added, and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (Sunbio) (5-1) - Grey 4-year-old raced both wide and evenly in his latest going farther at this level on May 15th. Race was his first in eight months and he's been working very nicely since. Trainer Barclay Tagg adds blinkers and this gelding is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #11 (Bob and Jim) (10-1) - Longshot exits the same May 29th race as "Shinnecock" and was four lengths back of him in a solid effort. Five-year-old has worked twice since and can impact at a square price.
4th pick: #9 (Junger) (12-1) - Very fast from the gate, he's racing second back from a almost a 6-month layoff and colt had a useful return race. Capable with his best, and he'll be a nice price.
5th pick: #1 (Full Pads) (15-1) - Pimlico shipper is lightly raced, draws the rail, gets blinkers added, and is making back-to-back starts for the first time. Don't just dismiss.
