Top pick: #1 (ROXBURY N OVERTON) (3-1) - He's improved noticeably since switching to the barn of Ramon Preciado during April. Home bred was an impressive wire-to-wire maiden winner here going 5-furlongs June 7. Score came facing 'open' company and was his second start in blinkers. The 'figure' earned was huge and a repeat of it against fellow Pa-breds will win this.
2nd pick: #9 (Devils Purge) (7-2) - Since coming off an 8-week break in early January, this one run type has gone 6-0-3-3, with all coming at this level here at Philly Park. 5yo is in shape and draws a nice outside post at this distance.
3rd pick: #6 (Midnight Tryst) (6-1) - Gelding is cutting back in distance after a pair of solid efforts at this level going around two-turns. He's one of two 4-time winners entered and has gone 5-1-1-2 at this distance in the past.
4th pick: #7 (Barlovento) (8-1) - Longshot is lightly raced and shortening up in distance. This is his first ever in a sprint and believe a small slice with a late rally is his ceiling.
