Top pick: #1 (CONMAN) (9-5) - The main speed in today's opener, colt is stretching back out in distance and draws the rail. His best races have come at this trip (4-0-2-2) and he's the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #4 (Word of Honor) (3-1) - He's shown improvement in his last pair and finished fourth at this tag and trip here on May 19th. Gelding had some serious traffic issues at the break that day and is a win threat with an alert getaway.
3rd pick: #5 (Westye's Dream) (4-1) - Well-bred gelding has finished third in four of his last five starts and all have been local. Stalker should be closest to "Conman" most of the race and is a major player if he can summon a bit more late energy.
4th pick: #7 (Any Cat in a Storm) (9-2) - Lightly-raced and well-bred, he comes off a career best when he finished third here at this level and distance on May 19th. He can factor, but must avoid a wide trip heading into the clubhouse turn.
