Top pick: #1 (SANTANA SIX) - Draws the ground-saving rail in this smallish field. Late developing runner in the Zito barn just failed to get up last out (a 1/2 length) in the "Spend A Buck" stakes here on May 30. Working super for this up at Saratoga on the training track, he's the choice for the win.
2nd pick: #2 (Atomic Rain) - Likes the track (3-2-1-0), he's kept top company this year, and he's coming into this off a strong win here on June 6, his first race since being unplaced in the "Kentucky Derby" (G1). Great recent work and he's the horse to fear. Almost put him on top.
