Top pick: #7 (MAHOGANY RIDGE) - Debuting Cal-bred gelding meets a pretty weak field and need not be anything special to take this first out. Working steadily, and two of the drills are 5 furlong gate moves, and both are above average. His trainer (Doug O'Neill) wins at a 17% rate with first time starters.
2nd pick: #3 (Stormin' Bubsy) - Another debuting runner, Washington-bred is working steadily since late February and is in an excellent first out barn (Vann Belvoir 25%). Works are of the stamina building variety, but as mentioned above, this group is on the "soft" side.
3rd pick: #1 (Chapito) - Moves to the rail after racing very wide here May 18th when he broke from a poor post (12th of 12). Stalker can get a piece of this at long odds if his rider is patient early on.
