Top pick: #5 (ANOTHER JOEY) - He finished a very strong second at this level and distance on May 12, his first back off a three-month vacation. Effort was easily his best and a repeat of it would be good enough to win this. Trainer (Allen Iwinski) has wisely given him a month since the return race to avoid a bounce.
2nd pick: #10 (Nos Man) - Shipped from Kentucky from one good barn (Eddie Kenneally) to another (Ed Auwarter). Raced well at Gulfstream in several starts and the price, distance, and post today are all fine today.
3rd pick: #7 (Gorky A) - Delaware shipper from Maryland trainer Richard Small drops and shortens-up in distance for this attempt. Latest saw him race wide against tougher at facing tougher going two-turns. Runs well in this spot.
