Top pick: #6 (VASTEN) (3-1) - He was claimed by Tony Dutrow for this $25K tag on March 24th and finished a distant third when facing entry-level allowance foes May 2nd in his first for the new barn. Drops back down, is brought back quickly, and grey gelding gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #1 (Yougotthatgionforu) (2-1) - Dangerous rival, speedy gelding has the rail and drops into a "straight" claimer for the first time in his career. Strong win candidate on the front-end.
3rd pick: #2 (Dimension) (5-1) - He's returned from a seven week freshening a much better horse and has gone 3-1-2-0 since early March. Speed/stalker won an allowance on April 17th at Penn National, and is nicely spotted today in this $25K claimer. Don't just dismiss.
4th pick: #5 (Pontus) (7-2) - New York shipper was a winner at Aqu. at this price tag on March 3rd to clear the 3l condition. He raced poorly there on March 28th when facing tougher and has been freshened up since. Working fine at Belmont and a threat with his best.
