Top pick: #4 (SAFETY VALVE) - Veteran turf performer is (15-6-3-4)overall on the turf and comes off a sharp 3rd place finish here at this tag on June 9th. In an annually high percentage barn (Rodney Jenkins 22%) and this gelding holds a class edge over this group.
2nd pick: #1 (Chinglish) - He's part of an entry with #1a Vigilante Law and they both have jockey Ricardo Santana Jr. listed. Well-bred gelding raced evenly last out in the same race as "Valve" and was 3 lengths back of that rival on the wire. His trainer (Julio Cartagena) is having a great meet (36-9-8-8) and this 4yo is a win threat.
3rd pick: #1a (Vigilante Law) - The 2nd half of the Cartagena entry races first off a claim (32% winning angle by the barn) and he rallied to win here racing for $16K June 20th the day he was taken. Capable from off the pace if he goes.
