Top pick: #1 (ACCLAMATION) - He looked like his old self last out when he was an authoritative winner on this course going 12 furlongs in the G2 Jim Murray on May 14th. He's now four for seven on this surface, is working fast for this, and he's the main speed. Five-year-old by "Unusual Heat" shortens-up two furlongs and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #6 (Bourbon Bay) - Graded stakes winner at Santa Anita hasn't won on this surface (4-0-1-2) and hasn't raced since late March when he ran poorly in the mid-east at the Meydan track in a $5M stakes race. Working super for this and trainer Neil Drysdale specializes off of layoffs.
