Top pick: #1 (COLDBLACK) (2-1) - He ships in from Philly Park where he was beaten a length at this level and distance April 25. He had some serious traffic issues during the stretch run and may have been best. He's done well here in the past (6-2-1-1) and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #3 (Sumo) (8-1) - Veteran is cutting back in distance after finishing second here going longer May 16. Capable sprinting, he's never won here, but has gone 17-0-7-5. Factors this afternoon.
3rd pick: #5 (Explosive War) (8-1) - He has some early speed and finished fourth here at this level May 20. Old timer pressed the pace that day and is rounding into shape after coming off a 3-month layoff April 11.
4th pick: #4 (Street Car) (5-1) - Once classier type showed little here just nine days ago. Capable in the past of beating tougher, he needs to turn it around for anything more than a small slice of this.
