Top pick: #6 (NKOSI REIGNS) - Hard-hitting veteran (55-13-11-12) made his first Philly start a winning one going start-to-finish here May 30th racing for $10,500. Race was his first in two months and first off a claim by the powerful barn of Bruce Levine. Has a flexible style and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #4 (Washington Square) - One of a pair entered by the barn of Ed Auwarter and they'll race uncoupled. He's won two of his last three starts following a claim March 30th and speed/stalker is still improving. Steps up but is too sharp to ignore.
3rd pick: #1 (Dubinsky) - The 2nd of the Auwarter pair races first off a claim, moves way up in price, and stretches-out in distance. Has the rail and is a threat.
