Top pick: #6 (SELF INSURED ) - One of a pair of recently claimed runners by Bob Hess Jr. and they'll race uncoupled. Gelding doesn't have a lot of speed but is a strong finisher, likes this surface (9-1-4-2), and has faced better most of his career. The top pick.
2nd pick: #2 (Hiho Geronimo) - The 2nd of the Hess pair was claimed off a win at this tag May 23rd when he was dropped down in price by the potent barn of Mike Mitchell. Has tactical speed and is a win candidate if he keeps his form off the barn switch.
3rd pick: #5 (Really Uptown ) - Drops, goes turf to poly, shortens-up in distance, likes the surface (5-1-2-0), and races 2nd back off a 7 week break. Surprise package.
