Top pick: #3 (BEER MEISTER) (8-5) - Gelding comes off a career best when he was an easy winner here racing for an $8000 claiming tag on June 1st. Claimed that day by Linda Mikus, she's worked him twice since, has Bejarano aboard, and a repeat of his last "figure' beats these.
2nd pick: #2 (Coloursoftheglen) (4-1) - He has the best early speed of this small group and breaks just off the rail. Last out he held to finish second to "Scofield" after setting a pressured pace in his best since May of 2012. Irish-bred should be involved every step.
3rd pick: #6 (Scofield Barracks) (9-2) - Veteran rallied into a slow pace to win going away on June 23rd racing for an $8K tag. It was his best overall since late Nov. and this 7-year-old gelding has proven in the past that he can string good starts together.
