Top pick: #1 (OUR FAITH) (3-1) - Lightly-raced 4-year-old is racing off an eight week break and taking a huge drop in class. He's shown some early speed facing tougher, has the rail, and will be a handful with an alert beginning.
2nd pick: #11 (Diddley Daddy) (5-1) - Lightly-raced gelding is clearly improving and finished 2nd here as the favorite for a 410K tag May 21. Gelding by 'Macho Uno' is s very strong win candidate in tonight's finale.
3rd pick: #9 (I'll Advised) (8-1) - He tired badly last out as the favorite racing at this level May 29. In his defense, 4-year-old was sandwiched between horses most of the way. He had finished second here in his previous pair and should be involved from start-to-finish.
4th pick: #4 (Uncle R D ) (6-1) - Five-year-old is racing third back from a lengthy layoff (20 1/2 months) and may hold down a piece of this at a square price.
5th pick: #2 (Hero's Divide) (8-1) - Home bred is lightly-raced and showed some improvement here June 5 in his second start. He has room for upside and is from a good barn (Sam Breaux).
