Top pick: #5 (I VOW to WIN ) - Stakes-placed Iowa-bred takes a big drop today going from an optional-$25K claimer to the bottom tag here ($5000). Has good early speed and races fourth back off a long layoff. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Pineapple Joe ) - Races second off a Randy Morse claim and a subsequent two month freshening. Has ability and he likes this surface (4-2-0-1). All set for a top try.
3rd pick: #7 (Sefa Split ) - He raced evenly here at this level and distance May 15 in his first off a half-year's layoff. Should be sharper in his second back and at a square price.
