Top pick: #7 (WITH EXPRESSION) (4-1) - Lightly-raced gelding drops in class in his second back from almost a half-year's absence. He raced evenly here when facing tougher in his return start on May 15th and has worked three times since. Gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #6 (Whyalwaysme) (9-2) - Gelding runs off almost a two month break and will be going dirt-to-turf. Bred for the surface, 3-year-old has been bet in both starts and is working fast for his return. Trainer Dom Schettino adds blinkers and this $67K yearling purchase by "Frost Giant" is a win candidate.

3rd pick: #10 (Readyfortheday) (15-1) - Longshot ships in from Finger Lakes where he's finished third in both dirt sprints. Bred for the grass, gelding by "More Than Ready" has some speed and can factor at a big price.

4th pick: #1 (Winnitude) (20-1) - He stretches out in distance and drops in class after a pair of even efforts sprinting here on the grass facing better. Has the rail and he could grab a share at a very big price.

5th pick: #9 (Unforced) (6-1) - Gelding by "Two Punch" ships back from Pimlico where he raced evenly following a stumbling start. Stretches out, and it's of note that trainer Mike Maker has J.J. Castellano aboard.
