Top pick: #3 (THAT BOY) - Has excellent early speed and comes off one of the best efforts of his career. Gelding sprinted clear last out at this distance, set fast fractions, and held well to finish second. Race was his first at this $5K tag since coming back from a five-month layoff. Wins this with a repeat effort.
2nd pick: #5 (Smarty Smith) - Speed/stalker chased and held for the place here June 4 in a race at this tag and trip. Much improved since a trainer switch to Tim Shaw and a threat from close-range.
3rd pick: #1 (Regent Executive) - Veteran loves this distance (16-7-1-2) and is working nicely for trainer Phil Aristone as this gelding makes his first start since Dec. 11. Has the rail and is a threat if ready.
