Top pick: #6 (BANNER CAT) - Speedy gelding races firt off a Chris Richard claim (a strong 33% winning angle). Purchased for $12.5K May 7th by owner Maggi Moss he's been tiring on a regular basis but ran well in a trio of starts this past winter/spring at Oaklawn Park. Can take this field from start-to-finish fresh off the claim.
2nd pick: #4 (Timbavati) - He has back class and will take a big drop today in his first back off a 100 day absence. Trainer Jon Arnett is heating up here of late and this 4yp will be a handful if ready.
3rd pick: #1 (Sir Fox) - Lightly-raced and speedy he's finished second in both starts at this meet, draws the rail, and is a threat from start to finish. Gelding by "Sir Shackleton" runs couoled in the wagering with No. 1a Louzado.
