Top pick: #3 (NAKAMOTO) (3-1) - He's been unlucky to have not broken his maiden up to this point. Stalker has missed by a 1/2 length in three straight starts on the grass. Freshened up since June 14 he can take this from close range.

2nd pick: #6 (Architop) (7-2) - He's disappointed in his last pair after missing by a 'nose' facing tougher April 17 at Santa Anita. Speed/stalker is dropping down a bit and should be involved from start-to-finish.

3rd pick: #1 (Alltheleavesrbrown) (5-1) - NEW gelding races for the first time since Sept 20 of 2014. Three-year-old by 'Big Brown' went 3-0-2-1 last year at Arlington Park and missed by a 1/2 length at this level in his only previous grass appearance. Has the rail and is a threat if ready.

4th pick: #2 (Big Discovery) (4-1) - No-speed type has rallied from behind to go 3-0-2-1 up to this point. All of those were on the grass and he's racing today with blinkers on. The faster the pace, the better his chances.
