Top pick: #5 (SNUCK IN LOVE) - Gelding returned last fall from a very long layoff (27 months) and last out finished second (missing by a "nose") to a former stakes runner who was dropping to the bottom. Effort was his best since getting back into action and anything near a repeat of it wins this.
2nd pick: #2 (B l's Noise) - Speedy runner used a rating tactic on May 18 to get his second career victory. Had some promise at one time and trainer Pete Walder seems to have him straightened out. Win threat.
3rd pick: #3 (Busch the Bandit) - Clesred the 2l condition four back at Laurel running for $5K and has raced evenly in his last three at this tag and condition. Can pass horses and may get up for a small slice.
