Top pick: #7 (DANZIG STORM) (6-1) - Price play ships in from Monmouth where he finished 2nd facing weaker June 21. Stalker is improving and draws outside of the speed types. His trainer (Joan Scott) is under-rated and was the original trainer of the mighty 'Curlin.' It's noted that John Velazquez is aboard.
2nd pick: #1 (Stay Tuned) (6-5) - The morning line favorite, stalker has been sharp in both starts and has been working fast since finishing 2nd at Belmont facing tougher June 11. Has the rail, gets blinkers added, and is an obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Ogermeister) (10-1) - Speedy gelding is one of two entered by trainer Dave Jacobson, and the pair race uncoupled. He tired badly last out to finish well back of 'Stay Tuned,' but had been much sharper in his previous pair. Price play.
4th pick: #2 (Bird Prince) (12-1) - Longshot is the second of the Jacobson pair and is racing first off a claim (28% for the barn). Freshened up since breaking his maiden going a mile at Belmont for a $40K tag May 22, he's lightly raced, and has room for upside.
