Top pick: #5 (FORT MORGAN) (8-5) - Long time maiden has finished second in three of five starts here and is running for the first time since Sept. 1. Stalker had a fine half-mile breeze on May 5th, meets a weak field, and can take this if ready.
2nd pick: #1 (Hope At last) (2-1) - Lightly-raced gelding is from the powerhouse barn of Jamie Ness and has been freshened up since March 14th. Has the rail, some early speed, and he's taken some money in both previous appearances.
3rd pick: #4 (Mauxahala) (7-2) - Colt showed nothing when debuting against special weights on April 26th at Thistledown. Pa.-bred has worked fine since and trainer Jevon Crumley drops him way down and switches him from dirt to "poly."
