Top pick: #1 (RUNAWAY QUE) (8-5) - He's won more races (3) than any other entered and all three have been on the local dirt. In shape, he has a flexible style and breaks from the rail. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (Midnight Mayhem) (3-1) - Lightly-raced gelding was an easy maiden winner here at this distance on May 30th when racing for a $20K tag. He's been competitive in all four dirt starts and runs today off a career best figure.
3rd pick: #3 (Image of Joplin) (2-1) - Gelding stalked, made a strong wide rally to reach the front turning for home, and held to win here on May 25th. He moves a bit in class, but that last win earned him the highest last race figure of this field.
4th pick: #6 (New Order) (20-1) - Longshot isn't a strong win candidate, but may hold on for a minor award at a big price with his best effort. His early speed is a plus.
