Top pick: #2 (WEAVE IT TO ME) (3-1) - Well-bred runner is owned and was bred by Rich Santulli (the breeder of Preakness winner "Oxbow"). Son of "Bernardini" has the best recent form and will drop to a new low in price. Five-year-old faces a very weak field and can clear this 2l condition in this spot.

2nd pick: #7 (Wide Right) (2-1) - Racing off a six month layoff here on May 14th he rallied to finish fourth of six, beaten a length when racing for a $25K tag. Barn drops him way down for this attempt and he's the probable favorite and the main danger.

3rd pick: #4 (Compelling Star) (5-1) - He broke his maiden here on March 5th when running a career best, then finished a solid third at this level and distance April 23rd in his first facing winners. Jersey-bred has more early speed than most and should be involved from start-to-finish.

4th pick: #1 (Bluegrass Demon) (4-1) - Claimed on March 14th at Penn National for this $7,500 tag, gelding returns 2 1/2 months later and draws the rail. Improving when last in action and he could impact at a square price.
