Top pick: #9 (IMPERIAL PRIDE) - In shape gelding has run well on this surface in the past (5-0-3-1) and has run well in all three starts since being claimed by Bob Hess Jr. in late April. The tag and distance are fine and he draws a nice outside post for this 6.5 furlong trip.
2nd pick: #7 (Flaming Strike) - Price play takes a sizeable drop in price and both of his career wins have come on conventional dirt. Stalker fits and is a contender for the top spot.
3rd pick: #10 (Afleet Deal) - Another price play, he improved last out in his 2nd off a Linda Mikus claim and he's won 5 times in his long career on real dirt. The presence of "P.Val" is always a plus.
