Top pick: #9 (THE COMMA GUY) (5-2) - The probable slight favorite, he's lightly raced, has good early speed, and has been well-backed and competitive in his first two starts. Colt ran third last out at Belmont in a swiftly-run contest and jockey Juan Pimentel is in from Pimlico to ride for trainer Mike Trombetta.
2nd pick: #6 (Fort Macon) (8-1) - Price play showed an improved effort last out at Pimlico and trainer Scott Lake shortens him up in distance, drops him into a claimer, and adds blinkers. Can factor at 6-1 or better.
3rd pick: #1 (Sprickett) (4-1) - Speedy colt has the rail and will be cutting back in distance. Another that's dropping and shortening up, and must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #7 (Buddy's Moon) (8-1) - He continues to race evenly and his high-percentage trainer (Bruce Levine) will shorten him up in distance and drop him into a claimer. 4-year-old ships back from Belmont where he's been working well for his first since April 13th.
