Top pick: #2 (ROMAN GAMES) (2-1) - Veteran grey gelding has been freshened up for the past two months, and trainer Ramon Preciado (36% off of long layoffs) has him working sharply for his return. Has back class and one run type should get a fast and/or contested pace to rally into.
2nd pick: #3 (Prince of Dreams) (7-2) - He's tired in his last pair facing a bit tougher, and trainer Ron Dandy will drop him down to the price ($12.5K) of his last win. Speed/stalker has been given a five week rest, and has a sharp half-mile breeze three days ago.
3rd pick: #6 (Stinking Creek) (6-1) - He's the main speed every time he races, and tired badly last out facing tougher in his second back from a seven week freshening. Pa-bred had won his return race at Penn National on May 9th, and is three for six on this surface. He enters off a pair of sharp works off a six week break, and could prove tough if he clears off without a struggle.
