Top pick: #6 (TUCKERS POINT) (3-1) - He's been a maiden a long time, but comes into this off a strong second-place finish here at this tag and trip on May 17th. Race was his first ever in a claimer, first on the west coast, and only his second ever on a synthetic surface. Strong finisher is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Proud Boss) (6-1) - Price play is lightly raced and will be going turf to "poly," dropping into a claimer, and racing blinkers on. He comes off a strong effort on the Golden Gate grass on May 18th and came back with a fine half-mile breeze on the 31st.
3rd pick: #3 (Dontextndrive) (7-2) - Gelding is one of two entered by trainer Marty Jones and both have a shot. This lightly-raced 3-year-old come off a career best when he finished 4th of 10, beaten a length going a mile on the Santa Anita grass for a $75K tag on April 19th. Drops, moves to "poly" course for the first time, and has Bejarano aloft.
4th pick: #2 (Magnum Force) (5-2) - The second of the Jones pair, no-speed type raced evenly here at this tag and trip on April 25th. Race was his first off an eight week break and he's worked three times since. He would benefit the most if the pace is fast, and or contested.
