Top pick: #1 (SECURE DIVIDEND) (3-1) - Gelding is racing third back off an 8 1/2 month layoff and has run evenly in his first pair back. His latest on May 21 came for twice this tag and earned him a career best figure. Has the rail, has worked twice for this attempt, and is the top selection. However, make sure you reverse your exactas.
2nd pick: #4 (Spirited Jacob) (20-1) - Longshot tired badly while racing between horses here June 6. It was his first since April 19 and he had been working fast for his latest. Trainer Vann Belvoir brings him back quickly and think he'll be competitive at a very big price.
3rd pick: #7 (Honey Fever) (6-1) - Grey gelding is 5.5-years-old and has only made four starts. He has some speed and is moving out in the gate after a pair of back-to-back inside draws. Working fast for today's attempt and is a threat at a square price.
4th pick: #8 (Senor Pegasus) (4-1) - Even-paced type is working well locally for his first since April 2. Five-year-old finished second twice here last winter in five starts, all at this $20K tag. Stalker draws outside of the speed and several in this field will be losing ground turning for home. Contends today.
