Premium Pick

Top pick: #6 (MINT HUMOR) - Consistent speed/stalker hasn't raced since April 7th at Santa Anita when he finished a pace-setting second when racing in an upper-level starter-allowance. He broke his maiden here on the main-track just under a year ago and has run well on the turf without winning (4-0-2-1). Can take this with his best.

2nd pick: #9 (Blue Jay Attack) - He's in off the also-eligible list and becomes an instant win candidate. Professional grass sprinter is at the right level and distance, is career best shape, and there's lots of potential pace signed up to help his closing style out.

3rd pick: #5 (Shred the Secrets) - Gelding returns from another layoff (8 months) and he's been sharp off of similar breaks in the past. Cal-bred has back class, is working very fast, and is a big threat if ready.
