Top pick: #5 (GUTSHOT STRAIGHT) - Gelding has been freshened-up since an easy and visually impressive maiden win here on May 12th. Three-year-old by "Kela" is working steadily for his first facing winners and this Peter Miller trained runner has improved in each start since debuting in April of 2010. Tough if he repeats the "figure" he earned last out.
2nd pick: #6 (Kalyra Cat) - He just missed facing slightly weaker here June 10th in his first off a 70-day break and his trainer (Mike Puype) is having a great run this year (34 for 139 {24%}). Looks set for another big effort today.
3rd pick: #3 (Dime) - Speedy sort drops after chasing and tiring last out in a high-end starter-allowance. Trainer Doug O'Neill has freshened him up since May 30th and this gelding by "Cherokee Run" should be involved from gate to wire.
