Top pick: #9 (GARDEN TOUR) - Gelding ships in from Monmouth where he finished third at this tag and trip June 3rd in the best effort in his 10-race career. Has a flexible style, meets a weak field, and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #3 (Hot Rodder) - Belmont shipper is in the fine barn of Claude "Shug" Mcgaughey and take a big drop this afternoon. Owned and bred by the legendary Phipps Stable, this colt by "More Than Ready" would be no surprise, though at a very short price.
3rd pick: #6 (Party at Ed's) - Improving and lightly-raced, trainer Scott Fairlie will move him to the grass and he races second off a very long layoff. Three-year-old has some speed and was competitive on the main-track at this price in his come-back attempt.
4th pick: #2 (Count to Seven) - "Long winded" type raced evenly last out at Pimlico facing special weights in his first ever on the turf. Trainer Chris Grove has done well shipping here this year (16-6-1-4). Contends today.
