Top pick: #12 (THELOVETREE) - Lightly-raced three-year-old showed a much improved race last out when he was dropped down in price by trainer Greg Sacco. Colt raced just off the pace, made a bid in mid-streth and finished a close-up third. Can win this with a slight improvement.
2nd pick: #10 (Daring Diamond ) - Gelding raced wide and evenly last out and was 3 1/2 lengths behind the top choice. Lightly raced and improving, he'll be making his third start back off a long layoff. Contender.
3rd pick: #9 (Mo's Cutter ) - He rallied to finish second here at this level and distance June 4, then tired last out after racing close-up in a two-turn contest. Cuts-back and is a win threat.
