Top pick: #1 (THE WHAMMER) - Races for the "red hot" barn of trainer Mike Mitchell and he'll drop this gelding down a bit in price and move him from the turf back to the main track. Stalker missed by a neck here May 6th facing tougher, draws the rail, and should get a very fast pace to rally into. Much improved since he was claimed by Mitchell, and he's the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (Joyful Success) - Very speedy 4-year-old is lightly raced and comes off an easy win here Apr. 28th, which was the best start on his 13 race resume. Races today off a negative barn change via a claim, but is a win candidate if he holds his form.
