Premium Pick

Top pick: #3 (The Hunk) - Very speedy son of "Speightstown" is (11-5-3-0) overall and is (7-4-3-0) on this surface with all of those starts coming at this 6 furlong distance. Working fast for his first race since late Dec when he tired facing "open" foes in the (G3) Mr. Prospector stakes at Gulfstream Park. Back with Jersey-breds this afternoon and is the horse to beat.

2nd pick: #11 (Bombast) - Much improved runner since being claimed here a year ago by trainer Jane Cibelli for $12,500. He went (7-4-1-0) after that and many of the races came facing tougher "open" company. Latest saw him finish 2nd here May 26th facing allowance-optional claimers and he's brought back in a week for this stakes. Win candidate.

3rd pick: #2 (Gunfighter) - Veteran sprinter races for only the 2nd time since early October and has been in training at Philly Park. He's won several stakes on this surface, and a year ago he finished 2nd in the 2011 running of this race.
