Top pick: #8 (BACK ALLEY DEAL) - Gelding was claimed by trainer John Scanlan May 31st for $7500 and he showed good speed racing on the grass running for $16K in his first for the new connections. They drop him down to the purchase price, switch him back to the dirt, and he's the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #7 (Maple Song) - Speedy sort is the probable favorite as he finished a pace-setting/pressing second last out in his first at this price. Race was the best in his 9 race career and he's an obvious win threat.
3rd pick: #4 (Best Affair) - Lightly raced 6-year-old has tired in both starts here since coming from California last fall. May last for a share.
