Top pick: #5 (WIND OF BOSPHORUS) (6-5) - The probable favorite, he's in the barn of California regular Doug O'Neill, and ships here from Kentucky where he finished second facing tougher on the Keeneland turf on April 5. Drops to a new low following a tiring effort on the "poly" at the same track April 25. Gelding faces a pretty weak crew and is the horse to beat.

2nd pick: #4 (Boogie Too) (9-2) - Well-bred gelding made a wide middle-move and flattened out racing here at this distance on May 1 for a $65K tag. Trainer Nick Zito drops him down to run for $35K, and when last at this tag he ran second at Gylfstream in a grass contse Jan. 4.

3rd pick: #3 (Fiddler's Chico) (12-1) - Price play improved noticeably last out when he made a strong wide rally to finish third of 11 facing a bit weaker on May 18. Barn may like his chances as J.J.Castellano is getting aboard for the first time.

4th pick: #2 (Streets of Fire) (10-1) - He was competitive two back on this surface racing for 420K, and was claimed that day by Randi Persaud. Gelding ran very wide for $65K on May 24 in his first for the new barn. They bring him back quickly and drop him down. Price play.
