Top pick: #6 (TOSHEEN) (5-1) - Speedy grey gelding has tired very late in her last pair, both here at this trip. Back in shape following a pair of layoffs, he should get a clear early lead against this group and can take this at a square price.
2nd pick: #8 (Somethings Unusual) (3-1) - The probable favorite, he's cutting back in distance after being beaten 2-lengths going a mile May 1. 7yo has finished second in three of six starts here at this 'down the hill' 6.5-furlong distance and is a win candidate this afternoon.
3rd pick: #1 (Unusual Taste) (12-1) - Longshot has the rail and likes to put in a late run. On the shelf since early Nov., grey gelding is training fast and is a stretch threat if ready.
4th pick: #10 (Louden's Gray) (20-1) - Lightly raced and speedy, well bred 4yo is training fast for his second back from a 2-month layoff. He has a nice outside post and doesn't need the front to be a factor.
5th pick: #9 (Clever Royal) (9-2) - He's another cutting back in distance for this attempt. He had some traffic issues when finishing fourth at this level going a mile April 11. That was his first in 8-months and he should move forward off of it.
