Top pick: #6 (BON MARIE) - Veteran was given the winter off by his connections and he returned from the six-month break as good as when he left. Gelding has finished close up in both his races in New York facing better and is well spotted here to pick up the win.
2nd pick: #7 (Watz His Name) - Just missed on this course at this level and distance on May 19. Race was his best ever on the turf and his barn (Mike Stidham) has him headed in the right direction.
3rd pick: #13 (Gold House) - Solid turf performer needs a scratch in the main-body to compete. Claimed out of his latest by Phil Schoenthal, he wheels him back quickly and stretches him out in distance. Contender if he runs.
