Top pick: #4 (Single Launch) (5-2) - Harris Farm's home-bred has been competitive in two of three starts and last out rallied to finish 4th of 10, beaten 4 lengths when racing here at this tag on May 3rd. Gelding had some trouble at the start that afternoon and was forced to run wide while closing.
2nd pick: #2 (Jet Warrior) (2-1) - Debuting gelding is in the barn of "Hall of Famer" Jerry Hollendorfer and this 3-year-old has been in steady training on this surface since mid-March. Working above average, he meets a weak field, and Bejarano (31% when riding for the barn) is signed on.
3rd pick: #5 (Saint Leo) (3-1) - One of two entered by trainer George Papaprodromou and the pair race uncoupled. Gelding has good early speed and will be dropping back down after a pair facing tougher.
4th pick: #8 (E K Ruler) (12-1) - The second of the Papaprodromou pair, he's working above average for his debut and is by a solid first out stallion "Tribal Rule." Can factor at a big price if ready.
