Top pick: #3 (ONE FRENCH KISS) - Drops, shortens-up in distance, and goes turf to poly for the Patty Gallagher barn. Faces a weak group and can win this on the class drop.
2nd pick: #4 (Casa O) - Probable favorite and an obvious win candidate has raced well in all three starts and has some early speed to employ. In a winning barn (John Sadler) and he removes his blinkers today. He'd be no surprise.
3rd pick: #10 (Self Defense) - He has fine speed/stalking ability and has finished in the money in five of his nine starts. Didn't care for the turf last out and he moves back to the main-track. Win candidate.
4th pick: #9 (Ned Page) - In a good barn (Alexis Barba) and gelding raced evenly in his debut here April 23. Normal improvement second out could land him a share.
