Top pick: #4 (HARROWLAND) - It's been over a year since his last win, but he's been sparingly campaigned and most came facing tougher. Has a big local drill on July 6th and runner is in the Cody Autry barn. Can cause a bit of an "upset".
2nd pick: #6 (Bruno's a Biter) - Speed is his game and he comes into this seeking his 3rd in a row, with the previous two wins coming here in wire-to-wire fashion. Very dangerous runner from the Lake barn.
3rd pick: #1a (Evil Storm) - He's raced evenly in all his starts since coming back from a half-years layoff. Hasn't been beaten much, but also hasn't threatened. Drops down to a career low and that could all change today. He's part of a Mike Gorham trained entry.
