Top pick: #7 (BOMBER BOY) - $200K son of "Bernardini" finished a strong third when debuting at Gulfstream in early March, then followed that up with a poor effort at Aqueduct going a mile 40 days later. Freshened-up by trainer Nick Zito since that April 15th effort, colt is training fast at Saratoga for his return to action, draws a nice post at this trip, and meets a weak field. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #6 (Groovy Soul) - Colt raced evenly when debuting on the grass on May 25th and had trained nicely on the main-track before his initial outing. Barn (Barclay Tagg) is always better second time out and has a big half-mile work on June 5th. Looks set for his best.
3rd pick: #4 (Raison d'Etat) - Son of "A.P. Indy" showed some speed when debuting here last fall, then finished a non-threatening 3rd on May 5th in his first since that time. In the patient barn of Bill Mott and colt is working nicely for this attempt.
