Top pick: #3 (ALLEY HONDRO ) - Races second off a Ron Ellis claim and colt tired last out inhis first back off a 5 1/2 month break. He faces a rather weak field and can win this with a slight move forward.
2nd pick: #10 (Magical Instinct) - Gelding basically just ran around the track when debuting here going two-tirns June 25. Well-bet that day he shortens-up in distance, has his blinkers removed, and draws a nice post for this trip. Look for a major move forward.
3rd pick: #8 (Hi Card Gambler) - Firster by "Swiss Yodeler" is working nicely for the barn of Brian Koriner and need not be much to impact against theae.
4th pick: #6 (Raymondjjohnsonjr) - One of a pair from trainer Jack Van Berg and they'll race uncoupled. Latest saw him finish a pace stalking 5th in his best since coming back from a layoff in early May. Can grab a slice at a big price.
