Top pick: #4 (SOVERIGN QUEST) (9-5) - One of two entered by trainer Dave Jacobson and the pair race uncoupled. He finished second at Belmont two back racing for a $35k tag, then last out tired after setting a fast pace in the $88K "Criminal Type." Drops, is the main speed, and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #2 (Charlie's Quest) (3-1) - Gelding is making his first start since April 17th and trainer Rudy Rodriguez has him working steadily for his return. Stalker draws the rail and likes the two-turn distance. Dangerous if ready with his best.
3rd pick: #1 (Ea) (5-2) - Old-timer has always loved this distance (7-2-2-1), and he's gone 3-2-1-0 on this surface in the past. Has a ton of back class and is still more than capable of beating these with his best.
