Top pick: #7 (SNEAKY DEVIL) (8-5) - The probable favorite, he has by far the best form, the most consistent early speed, and enters this off a pair of narrow defeats racing here at this tag and trip. In a winning barn (Ramon Preciado) and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (Merryvale Cab) (7-2) - Gelding is one of two entered by trainer Randy Allen and the pair race uncoupled. He was well back of "Devil" last out, but was eliminated at the start when "bumped" heavily. "Nibbler" can grab a share of this with a "clean" getaway.
3rd pick: #1 (Mi Dragon) (10-1) - Lightly-raced grey gelding finished second here on May 18th at odds of 39-1 , then tired while racing wide in his latest. He has the rail and can factor this afternoon.
4th pick: #8 (Whirling Dervish) (4-1) - Improving sort has been competitive in his last pair despite having wide trips in each. His outside post means that he needs to be sent a bit harder from the start to avoid that scenario again.
