Top pick: #6 (BOOGIE WOOGIE RAY) (2-1) - He ships from Tampa in shape and working well locally for his first since Jan. 5. Stalker has run well here in the past, draws a nice post for his style, and the speed is to his left.
2nd pick: #1 (Joe) (5-2) - Lightly-raced and bred for speed, he set a pressured pace here before tiring here running for a $15K tag on April 30th. Has the rail, and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (Steeple Road) (3-1) - Mountaineer shipper has a bit of speed and will be dropping into a career soft spot. Must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #4 (I'ma Smokin Gun) (7-2) - He finished second here at this level on April 26th in his second back from a 5 1/2 month layoff. A repeat of that effort would have him competitive again today.
