Top pick: #1 (TURN ON THE PUNPS) - Gelding raced evenly here at this level and distance May 11th in what was only his second start since coming back from a seven month layoff on March 24th. He's worked twice since his latest and will be making back-to-back starts for the first time since last summer. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #3 (Sizzlin' Joe) - "Joe" has run well in both starts and trainer Marty Jones will send this son of "Unusual Heat" to the turf and stretch him out in distance. Bred for both and a win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Amoracchius) - Longshot has some late kick and returns to the barn of Mike Puype after racing at Golden Gate Fields in four starts for Ed Moger Jr. May grab a share at long odds with a late rally.
4th pick: #8 (Dream Caught) - Blinkers go back on after a one race experiment and this 3-year-old gelding is working very fast for his first start since April 22nd. Has some speed and it's of note that Marty Garcia is back aboard after a four race absence.
