Top pick: #2 (BARNARDS GALAXY) (4-1) - Veteran has finished third in a pair of starts at this level since coming off 5 1/2 month layoff on April 18th. Strong finisher should love this 10-furlong trip and looks set for a big effort.
2nd pick: #1 (Elroi) (3-1) - No-speed type was victimized by a slow pace last out and rallied to be beaten just under two lengths. He has the ground saving rail and should get a quicker pace to close into.
3rd pick: #7 (Bluegrass Flash) (7-2) - Grey gelding is lightly raced, improving, and enters off a sharp maiden win here going a mile here in an off the turf contest on June 5th. He's run well on the grass before and is a win candidate.
4th pick: #9 (Trainingforsuccess) (8-1) - Longshot is the type that can run all day and has finished close up in his last two here at this level. Capable of impacting if he can avoid a wide trip.
