Top pick: #7 (THREE BUTTONS DOWN) - Gelding showed some speed before tiring facing special weight when debuting here in a grass sprint May 27th. Trainer Bruce Headley (26% second time out) has him working bullets for this and he'll drop him into a claimer and switch him from turf to the all-weather surface.
2nd pick: #3 (Stormin' Bubsy) - Heavily bet when debuting here at this tag on June 1st, he set a pressured pace and held to finish 3rd while weakening. Trainer Vann Belvoir (21% second time out) brings him back in three weeks and adds blinkers. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #9 (Awesome Mike) - Speedy sort can run a half in under :45 and that makes him a serious challenger against this crew. Drops off a three month layoff and his early speed makes him a win candidate.
4th pick: #8 (Devgru) - Lightly raced 3-year-old finished third when debuting here at this price three weeks ago. He showed good early speed that day, but has other front-end types stationed on both sides of him tonight. Can factor, but needs a smart ride.
