Top pick: #7 (TALEITLIKEITIS) - Lightly raced and well-bred, he was claimed at the Fair Grounds by trainer Cody Autry for $30,000 late in the meet. Shipped north, gelding finished a fine third at Philly Park in a starter-allowance going seven furlongs from a tough inside post in a large field (12). Drops back to the claimed level and draws outside the other speed.
2nd pick: #2 (Bowie At Saratoga) - He showed big speed in the slop here at this price on May 5. Race was his first for trainer Scott Lake after shipping here from New Mexico. Threat on the front-end.
3rd pick: #3 (We Have Ignition) - Also trained by Scott Lake, this three-year-old gelding was claimed late in March at Gulfstream and has been freshened-up since. Trainer is notorious first off the "buy" (26%) and great off of layoffs (23%).
