Top pick: #7 (MILLENIUM LAKES) (5-1) - He enters off a pair of very impressive back-to-back wins facing a bit weaker, one each at Pimlico and Monmouth. Strong middle-moving type has won here in the past, likes the distance, and can take another if he holds his current form.
2nd pick: #5 (Lime Drop Kid) (7-2) - Nicely bred gelding takes on winners for the first time following a come from behind maiden score in an "off the turf" contest at Pimlico on May 24th. He's run well on the grass in the past and the distance is no problem for this "long winded" type.
3rd pick: #3 (Enduring Star) (15-1) - Longshot moves back to grass after a near miss here on the dirt racing for a $25K tag. Another who can "run all day," he's working fast for this and is a win threat at a big price.
4th pick: #2 (True Test) (5-2) - He's listed at odds of 5-2 and is a threat, but holds no real advantage. No-speed type ships in from Delaware where he finished fourth at this level on June 1st in a contest where he had some traffic issues.
5th pick: #4 (Incisive Strike) (6-1) - Veteran has more speed than most and ships in from Penn National where he ran well on May 22nd. Runs third back from a 5 1/2 month layoff, and he's 2-for-3 on this course in the past.
