Top pick: #8 (FANTANDO ) - He just missed here at this level going 6 furlongs on May 13 in his first start in this country and first of any kind in a half-year. Has a sharp work since, gets an extra furlong tonight, and trainer Mike Mitchell adds blinkers. Much the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #4 (Fionnaur) - Drops, switches surfaces, goes a bit longer and races second back off a long layoff (6 1/2 months). In a good barn (Pete Miller) and the main danger.
3rd pick: #1 (Quietly Waiting) - Races off a 100 day freshening and in a carerr soft spot. Has some finishing punch and once past the top pair the field is very ordinary. Contender.
