Top pick: #4 (MR GAME SEVEN) (4-1) - Barn (Doug O'Neill) won the first local race of the year on the grass for 2yos here on yesterday's card. This colt raced evenly when debuting in a 5-furlong dirt contest at this level a week ago. Bred for the turf, they bring him back quickly and he has a shot at pulling off a mild upset.
2nd pick: #7 (Hot Ore) (2-1) - The morning line favorite, he's finished 2nd & 3rd in both dirt sprints and has outstanding grass breeding ('Unusual Heat'). Stalker is an obvious win candidate at a short price.
3rd pick: #8 (Frac Candy) (4-1) - Another bred to handle the grass, colt rallied to finish 2nd in a dirt sprint facing weaker June 11. His post is of no help and he'll need a fast/and or contested pace for anything more than a minor award.
4th pick: #3 (Unbridled Rocket) (12-1) - Longshot ran evenly in his debut at odds of 67-1. May get a minor award at a big price with a small step forward.
