Top pick: #6 (KING HENRY) (5-2) - Nice field in today's feature with the six runners having 41 wins and $1.8M in earnings between them. This Gelding won a $50K sprint stakes at Penn National on June 1st and has now won for of six starts since being claimed by Tim Kreiser. 5yo is three for seven7 locally, and stalker should receive a very fast pace to track.
2nd pick: #4 (Fersmiley) (2-1) - He's been freshened up since late Dec. when he won back-to-back starts here in wire-to-wire fashion. His local record is outstanding (14-6-5-1), and this speedball is working fast for his return. Obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (High On Candy) (6-1) - Veteran hasn't raced since early Dec., but his local works are excellent, including a bullet half-mile (best of 73) on the morning of June 18th. Likes it here (16-5-3-3), and a major threat if ready.
4th pick: #1 (One Ocean Drive) (5-1) - He runs third back off a 5 1/2 month layoff, and was beaten a head here at this level and distance last out. Speed/stalker draws the rail, and this hard-hitter must be left in the mix.
