Top pick: #1 (FABLEZAPPER) (5-2) - Speedy sort ships back from Thistledown where he finished second, going a mile in an allowance at the 2x condition. Gelding by "Ghostzapper" has done well here in the past (5-2-0-1), and will be tough from on or just off the lead.
2nd pick: #2 (Ham and Ernie) (7-2) - Veteran moves up in price after rallying to win here, going a mile for a $7500 tag on June 10. Win came first off a Jared Cheeks claim, a subsequent nine week freshening, and was his first on this surface. Threat right back.
3rd pick: #4 (Ricky McD) (5-1) - No speed type rallied to finish fifth of 11, beaten about six lengths racing on the Indiana Downs turf for an $8500 tag May 22. Race was his first off a 2 1/2 month layoff, and he's won here at this price and distance in the past.
