Top pick: #1 (MUGGSY) (7-2) - Lightly raced gelding ships in from Pimlico and is in a winning barn (Hugh McMahon). 4yo by "High Cotton" raced evenly there in a grass sprint on May 11 in his first since early August. Has the rail, his best ever came on Keeneland's "poly," and he can take this with a "clean" getaway.
2nd pick: #4 (Kiwi Ruler) (8-5) - The "class" of the field, he hasn't raced since in almost a year and has only one published work showing. Probably prepared off site, he has a strong closing kick and won his debut two years ago at Philly Park, so you know he can "fire" fresh.
3rd pick: #5 (A Laugh an a Joke) (8-1) - He's one of two who has won here before, and this Fla-bred did so here on May 20. Speedy sort moves way up in class, but is lightly raced, in shape, and he still has room for upside.
