Top pick: #3 (THATBOATTHATSAILED) - He makes his first start since late November and that was his only poor start in five 2011 appearances. It came in a stakes race and in his other outings he went (4-0-1-3). Has some speed, he meets a weak field, and can take this if ready.
2nd pick: #7 (Foresters Pride) - He ran a career best when finishing 4th facing weaker on May 9th, his first start since Sep 21st. In a capable barn (Laurie Silvera) and this 3yo gelding has a fine work just 6 days ago. Can contend despite the move up in class.
3rd pick: #5 (On the Nose) - Away "slowly" when debuting at this level on May 5th, he did make up some late ground and was only beaten 4 lengths. He's come back with a pair of sharp works, presumably with the lasix that gets added today.
