Top pick: #4 (TURN ON THE PUMPS) - Liked him last out and he ran a bit "rank" early while stalking the pace before tiring during the stretch run. Race was his first in two months, first around two-turns, and first on the turf. Working fast since and can win this at a nice price.
2nd pick: #9 (Minister d'Oro) - He's rallied to finish close-up in his last pair and seems to be a better animal since Peter Miller took over his training last winter. Gelding has a bullet drill just 6 days ago and he's the likely favorite and a big danger.
3rd pick: #12 (Kingpin Ryno) - Stretches-out off a pair of sharp sprint tries and his speed makes him dangerous if he avoids a wide trip from this post.
4th pick: #7 (Checkmark) - He's raced well in all three starts since returning from a long layoff in early April and should be competitive again this afternoon.
