Top pick: #5 (TAKEIT TOTHE LIMIT) (5-2) - Colt drops way down in price and stretches out in distance after weakening to run fourth when debuting here going 6-furlongs for a $50K tag on May 9th. He's worked fast since, meets a weak-looking group, and gets the call.

2nd pick: #4 (Midnight Mayhem) (8-5) - Gelding finished 3rd of 12, beaten 3 1/2 lengths racing at this tag going 7-furlongs on May 2nd. It was his first since mid-January and a solid effort. Three-year-old tired in his latest when facing tougher on the grass and is moving back to the dirt, dropping back down, and is a win candidate.

3rd pick: #8 (Yodeling Honey) (4-1) - He's raced evenly in both starts after breaking "slowly" in each. Lightly-raced, trainer Mike Puype will stretch him out around two-turns for the first time.

4th pick: #6 (Stauffenberg) (7-2) - No-speed type is dropping down in price and is going turf to dirt for this attempt. He fits with his best, but 5-year-old has been far back early in all of his recent races and will need some pace help.
