Top pick: #4 (MINER BIRD) - Lightly raced and beautifully-bred son of "Mineshaft" has been improving steadily for trainer Wayne Lukas and looks for his 3rd in a row today. Colt broke his maiden at Oaklawn April 1st then won here at this price to pick-up his 2nd win on May 15th. Moves up a condition but stays at the same tag. The top pick.
2nd pick: #2 (Hey Smarty) - Races off a two month layoff and first off a Brad Cox claim (48%). Strong finisher was improving at the time of the claim and just missed clearing this level in his latest. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Gallantin Forest) - Stretches-out and races 2nd back off an 11 month layoff for a good barn (Cody Autry). Capable of winning this if he were to bring his previous "A" game.
