Top pick: #9 (SONOF A MONSTERCAT) (7-2) - He's in fine shape at present, and comes off a pair of second place finishes here facing older runners. Stalker is back in with fellow 3yos today, and I like his chances in this wide open "Derby."
2nd pick: #8 (Silk Indian) (6-1) - One of two entered by trainer Ty Garrett Jr., and the pair race uncoupled. Speed/stalker is in shape and was less than a length back of "Monstercat" here on June 7th.
3rd pick: #4 (Listen You Fool) (10-1) - Longshot was a sharp winner here on June 7th, then raced evenly while not a factor in his latest. Could impact at a big price.
4th pick: #7 (Bourbon Pride) (6-1) - The second the Garrett pair, he has a good late kick (when in the mood), and gets blinkers on today.
5th pick: #3 (Dr. Watson) (8-1) - Recent maiden winner is well-bred and strong finisher, should get a solid pace to rally into.
