Top pick: #4 (NO ITS NOT) (4-1) - He ships in from Monmouth where he finished a strong second to a horse that repeated there yesterday against a very good field. By far a career best, and it's nice to see Elvis Trujillo come south for the mount.
2nd pick: #1 (Stormy Henry) (5-2) - He's lightly raced, talented, improving, and from a top outfit (Mike TRombetta). Last out, this gelding finished second here at this level, and he's a win candidate this afternoon.
3rd pick: #6 (Tango On) (8-1) - One of six making their debut in this spot, home-bred by "Stonesider" is working very fast locally for this attempt, and veteran trainer Steve Klesaris is always dangerous first out (25%).
4th pick: #10 (Sixteen Stone) (6-1) - Colt draws a tough outside in a big field for his debut, but his works indicate he has speed, and with a "clean" break, he can factor
5th pick: #3 (Pastafagioli) (12-1) - He tired badly last out in the same contest as "Henry" and will get blinkers added by trainer Phil Aristone. A bullet three furlong gate breeze on June 11 hints that better is in the offing.
