Top pick: #5 (OUT OF AFRICA) - He seems to be rounding back into form since arriving here from Florida and entering the barn of Marcus Vitali. Gelding has spent most of his carer facing tougher and can take this nitecap.
2nd pick: #1 (Crude Load ) - Easy maiden win last out sprinting here and trainer Kevin Clark will stretch him out in distance for his first vs. winners. Has the rail and good speed/stalking ability. Think he'll do well.
3rd pick: #8 (Score Now ) - He stretches-out for a dangerous barn (Zacarias Ramos) off a solid sprint effort June 26. Well-bred and and he's been competitive in most of his stsrts. Win candidate.
4th pick: #6 (Simple Punch ) - No-speed type has improved dramatically in his last pair and will try winners for the first time off a sharp maiden win here June 19. Stretch threat.
