Top pick: #3 (MISSION APPROVED) - Has the best early speed but can also stalk if someone else wants the top. He's had a month to recover after a "gutsy" win at Delaware in his seasonal bow and veteran turf performer has spent most of his career facing tougher. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Broad River ) - Another veteran he races off a 7 week break and is one for one on the local surface. Speed/stalker has the inside advantage and races today in a career soft spot. Working nicely and a win candidate.
3rd pick: #9 (En Fuego) - Improving and well-bred gelding finally broke through with his maiden win on May 14th. He can "run all day" and has a strong closing kick. In-shape and is a win threat if he can avoid a wide trip from this post.
