Top pick: #5 (FOOD RULES) - Lightly raced and well-bred colt races today for the first time since April 10 when he tired facing tougher on the turf at Gulfstream. Working very fast for his return he also runs today off a trainer switch to Pablo Andrade. Can win this off the break as his new barn drops him into a claimer for the first time.
2nd pick: #3 (Brother Cha) - Irish-bred gelding runs off almost a two month break and will drop down in price and race on conventional dirt for the first time in his career. Trainer Bruce Levine adds blinkers today and reaches out to leading rider Carmouche. Has some back class and can contend today if he takes to the surface.
3rd pick: #4 (Sin And The City) - Another that's returning from a long layoff, and off a trainer change to Mike Trombetta. Well-bred colt hasn't run since breaking his maiden in late January at Laurel, but is working steadily and home-bred will drop into a claimer for the first time.
