Top pick: #9 (A LAUGH AN A JOKE) (3-1) - Consistent stalker has been beaten under a length in both starts at this meet since returning from an eight month layoff in late May. He draws a nice outside post for his style and there's plenty of potential pace signed on to help his win this turning for home.
2nd pick: #6 (Giant's Fantasy) (9-2) - Pa. bred was a winner here June 4 at odds of 13-1 in his first since late November. Win reaffirmed his liking for this surface and he's now 8-1-3-2 on it.
3rd pick: #10 (Song of Exile) (5-2) - The morning line favorite, speedy sort was a winner here at this tag and trip May 18 as he cleared the 2l condition. He came right back June 7 to check in second in his first try at this 3l condition. Win candidate, he should be involved from start-to-finish.
4th pick: #7 (Purely Dunn) (15-1) - Long shot has some early speed, but has been beaten twice in a row by 'A Laugh an a Joke' without any apparent excuse. May hold down a minor award at a big price.
