Top pick: #8 (MORNING PRAYERS) - Consistent front-runner meets a field where he's clearly the main speed and veteran mare comes into this in sharp recent form. Nine-year-old draws a nice outside post to "gun" from and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #3 (Tribal Strike) - Filly ships in from Presque Isle where she went (7-0-2-3) after coming back from a 5 month layoff on May 19th. One-run type has won on conventional dirt in the past and is a win candidate.
