Top pick: #5 (LEO'S IN THE HOUSE) (3-1) - Useful debut here on April 20 saw him bet down to favoritism, and he tired very late to finish fourth of seven, beaten by 2 1/2 lengths. Gelding by "Lion Heatr" showed good early speed and stayed on gamely. Trainer Troy Taylor has won with five of his last 13 second time starters and his main rider (Aaron Gryder) is back aboard.
2nd pick: #1 (Stoneridge Storm) (4-1) - He also had a solid debut here when he raced wide through-out and tired to finish fourth on May 4. Trainer Craig MacPherson brings him back quickly and gelding move to the ground saving rail.
3rd pick: #2 (Shooting Jacket) (4-1) - Originally with the world class Godolphin operation, $150K gelding by "Hard Spun" has been sold privately and makes his North American debut after five starts in England. Working well for his first race since October 17, and a major threat if ready.
4th pick: #8 (Hardware) (9-2) - In the same barn as "Storm," and the pair race uncoupled. He exits the same April 20 contest as "Leo," and rallied while wide to finish third. He needs to avoid a wide trip for anything more than a minor award.
