Top pick: #4 (TEN ITEMS OR LESS) (3-1) - Speedy sort has gone 4-1-3-0 since joining the barn of Bruce Brown this past winter. He set a fast pace and held to finish second here at this level and distance on May 14 and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #6 (Tempered Trend) (5-2) - Lightly raced, he's one of two entered by trainer Gary Gullo, and the pair race uncoupled. Gelding was a winner at this tag at Aqu. on April 9 to clear the 2l condition, then did not break sharply in his latest, and was 3 1/2 back of "Items." He moves off the inside and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Wise Guide) (5-1) - New York bred cuts back in distance after checking in fourth of eight, beaten three lengths racing here at this level going a mile May 16. Has the rail and is a late threat.
4th pick: #3 (Reggie D) (9-2) - No speed type is the second of the Gullo pair and will need a fast and/or contested pace for anything more than a minor award.
