Top pick: #5 (HILLSWICK) - Hard-hitting veteran was claimed in early June by Dave Jacobson for $50K and has been freshened up for the past seven weeks. Speed/stalker is brought back where they can't lose him and he's the only one entered who has won on this course. New trainer wins at a 27% rate first off the claim and Dominguez is aboard.
2nd pick: #1 (Maui Mark) - Since returning from a 10 1/2 month layoff in late December, he's gone (6-4-0-2) and has won both his starts at Belmont since relocating from the west coast in late April. Has the rail, a flexible style, and is a win candidate.
