Top pick: #5 (STREET THUG) - He's been competitive in all his starts (3-1-2-0) and last out was beaten a 1/2 length racing here at this condition and distance. Son of "Street Sense" set a fast pace that day and held gamely and a repeat of the "figure" earned can take this.
2nd pick: #4 (Love to Run) - Improving colt by "Pulpit" broke his maiden here at this distance on June 9th and wil be trying fellow winners for the first time. Barn (John Kimmel) is having a strong meet and this 3yo had a sharp half-mile work here on the 24th. Contends again today.
3rd pick: #6 (Mulheb) - Very lightly raced and well-bred, he broke his maiden here over a small field (5) May 26th in his 2nd start since coming from Ireland last fall. Colt by "Bernardini" cost $800K and has been brought along with care.
