Top pick: #2 (WATERSHED) (3-1) - Godolphin home bred makes his debut off an impressive work tab. Son of 'Bernardini' has drilled seven times since late May and 3-year-old meets a weak field for the level. Can score first out.
2nd pick: #3 (War Ride) (4-1) - Grey colt has run identical figures in his first pair. Stalker by 'Unbridled's Song' can factor with a bit of improvement.
3rd pick: #7 (Vinegar Joe) (7-2) - He rallied while wide to finish second last out at Belmont. $225K son of 'Candy Ride' was 1 1/2 clear of 'War Ride' that afternoon and has a pair of solid local works since then.
4th pick: #8 (Evolution) (8-1) - He did not run well at Belmont May 16 when returning off a 8 1/2 month layoff. Speed/stalker was competitive here in a pair last summer and had a very sharp local work Aug 2. Price play.
