Top pick: #3 (CHECKMARK) - The probable favorite has finished second in four of five starts since returning from a 16-month layoff in early April. All of thise have been at this level and distance on the grass and trainer Gary Sherlock will add blinkers to him for the first time. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (Sun's Out) - He was only a 1/2 length off of Checkmark when debuting in April, but last out was 8 back of him after breaking "slowly." Working fast and blinkers go on this afternoon. Home-bred is a big danger with a "clean" start.
3rd pick: #4 (Full Effect) - Price play stretchse out in distance today off an even effort at this level going 6 furlongs here just two weeks ago. Capable of impacting at an expected big price.
4th pick: #7 (Unusual Beam) - He improved second out and will move to the grass an stretch-out in distance. Gelding is by "Unusual Heat" and and they all run better when moving to the turf. Nice to see Bejarano climb aboard.
