Top pick: #6 (KING KRESSA) (4-1) - He's been extra sharp in all three starts since returning from a four month layoff on March 30th. Laste effort saw him go gate-to-wire to win the $125k "Kingston" stakes here at this distance. He stopped the clock in a swift 1:33.80 and earned a career best figure. I like his chances.
2nd pick: #4 (Data Link) (7-5) - The probable favorite is working fast locally for his first since April 12th at Keeneland when he was beaten a lenght by reigning "Horse of the Year" "Wise Dan" in the "Makers Mark Mile" (G1). Obvious win candidate at a short price.
3rd pick: #7 (Howe Great) (6-1) - Team Valor colt has some talent and won three grass stakes during his 2012 season. Stalker draws a fine outside post and was beaten a 1/2 length here at this distance in the (G3) "Hill Prince" a bit over a year ago.
4th pick: #1 (Upgrade) (10-1) - He ships in from Woodbine where he finished a close up third in the "Connaught Cup"(G2) going 7 furlongs on May 26th. He's done well here in the past (4-2-1-0) and can factor at a square price.
