Top pick: #4 (EBEN ALSALFA) - Gelding drops down in price, goes turf to dirt, and shortens up from a mile to 6 furlongs. Gelding by "Pulpit" originally cost $525,000 and should break his miaden as he runs for $5000 for the first time.
2nd pick: #6 (Dry Ridge) - He's (3-0-2-1) since coming here following his debut at Oaklawn on March 18th. One-run type has been freshened up for the past month and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #1a (Smokin Rascal) - He's part of a Gary Patrick trained entry and he has jockey Leandro Goncalves listed on both halves. Gelding chased and tired when debuting here in a well-bet debut on June 4th and normal second out improvement makes him a threat.
