Top pick: #4 (SPACE COWBOYS) (2-1) - He tracked, made a mild bid, then held to finish third here facing tougher just five days ago. Nice effort was his first ever on a synthetic surface and he should win this on the quick turnaround.
2nd pick: #1 (Otokogi) (5-1) - NEW gelding has been freshened up since April 9th. Well bred, he was sold privately earlier this year after being in a pair of top quality stables (Wayne Catalano and Graham Motion). He has early speed, breaks from the rail, and his two best efforts have come on synthetic surfaces.
3rd pick: #2 (Colby Tavern) (6-1) - He chased and weakened to finish third sprinting at this level on the Thistledown dirt May 4th. It was his first race since late March of 2014 and he most likely needed the effort. His best races came back in 2013 racing on a similar surface at Arlington Park. In the mix.
