Top pick: #2 (MAX'S FIRST) - The probable favorite, he finished fourth here on May 27th and was claimed for $5K that day by the high percentage barn of Ray Moya. He brings him back in five days and veteran gelding is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Jack Taylor) - He races for the first time since late Oct. and veteran draws the rail. Gelding is in a very good small barn (Danny Lopez) and he can factor in the exacta if ready.
3rd pick: #6 (Magical Dreamer) - He has good early speed and last our=t chased to pace of a wire-to-wire winner who became the first repeat winner at this meet. Price play has Joe Bravo aboard for the first time.
4th pick: #7 (Hobbit on the Rocks) - Veteran ships in from Philly Park where he finished second last out going 7 furlongs. No-speed type can factor with a late run, but needs to avoid a wide trip from this outside post.
