Top pick: #5 (NICEANDEZ) (4-1) - Gelding has gone 8-5-2-0 here at Presque Isle and is 4-0-0-0 on dirt and turf. Speed/stalker has won two in a row over weaker and moves up in class for this attempt.
2nd pick: #4 (Eddie Set Go) (5-2) - Since being claimed by Darien Rodriguez on May 19th for $12.5K, veteran gelding has gone 4-1-3-0. Seven-year-old just missed here at this level last out and earned the same figure as "Niceandez." Stalker is a win candidate in this spot.
3rd pick: #2 (Shotinthefog) (7-2) - Since coming from Tampa this past spring, he's gone 4-0-1-3 and they've all come at this level. In the high-percentage barn of Jamie Ness, this gelding fits with his best.
4th pick: #3 (Evil Doer) (3-1) - Consistent veteran has spent almost his entire career here (22-6-6-3), is in shape, but at present his best does not match the top three selections. May grab a minor award.
