Top pick: #6 (GO DUKE GO) (7-5) - He's the choice to break his maiden. Enters this off a pace-setting third place finish here at this level going six furlongs on May 30. It was a nice step forward off his debut.
2nd pick: #3 (Duvali) (6-1) - Son of "Bluegrass Cat" debuted in the same May 30 contest as "Duke," and he tired after racing within range. Colt took some money that day, and will run with blinkers on for this attempt.
3rd pick: #5 (Baffoonery) (2-1) - Lightly raced gelding finished a non-threatening third here, going 8.5 furlongs racing for a $16K tag on June 6. In a very good barn (Joe Cheeks), and must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #1a (Captain Spanky) (6-1) - "Spanky" is part of a Wayne Rice trained entry, and he has separate riders listed on each half. He tired badly last out in his first off a claim, but is lightly raced, well-bred ("Indian Charlie"), and has room for upside.
