Top pick: #4 (ALGEIBA) - Switches from turf to dirt and has finished second in three straight appearances. Working fast for his first off a six week freshening and he's nicely spotted by trainer Joe Orseno. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #3 (Auctoritas) - Recent maiden winner stretches-out off a sharp maiden win here June 14 going 7/8th's of a mile. Gelding by "Speightstown" is lightly raced, improving, and has a shot at the top spot in his first vs. winners.
