Top pick: #5 (SMILE DADDY) (7-2) - He's raced well this year (7-2-1-2), and one run type will be making his local debut. 5yo by "Scat Daddy" has done well on synthetics at other tracks (11-2-1-3), and it's a plus to see veteran Mario Pino aloft.
2nd pick: #3 (Witness the Prince) (6-1) - Gelding ships in from Ohio where he was an easy winner on the Thistledown dirt facing weaker on May 18. Fits with his best and he should be a square price.
3rd pick: #1a (Mr G.L.B.) (3-1) - Grey gelding finished fourth sprinting here at this level on May 20. It was his first in almost three months, and he's won here at this distance in the past.
4th pick: #4 (Royal Apollo) (4-1) - Finger Lakes shipper ran well this past winter at Tampa and raced evenly in a sprint last out in his first start in 2 1/2 months. Fits on "figs" and his stalking style is a plus.
