Top pick: #5 (DADDY'S WILDCAT) - Lightly-raced belding broke his maiden at Aqueduct April 20th going wire-to-wire for a $12.5K tag, then pressed a fast pace before tiring badly here on a muddy surface May 23rd. The main speed today and the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #6 (Et Al) - Colt raced evenly here sprinting on the grass for $25K May 1st, his first start since March 31st at Gulfstream. Trainer Rudy Rodriguez has worked him three times since and Dominguez is aboard for this drop down attempt.
3rd pick: #4 (Toninthirteen) - Drops to a new low and trainer Mike Hushion will switch him from turf to dirt and cut him back in distance. Has a good late kick and can factor during the stretch run if he avoids any traffic early on in this large field.
4th pick: #1 (First Verse) - He rallied to finish far in front of "Wildcat" last out when he rated off the pace for a change. Has the rail, Desormeaux stays put, and gelding must be left in the mix.
