Top pick: #2 (BRANCHING OUT) (2-1) - The probable favorite, lightly raced gelding by "Rock Hard Ten" has finished second in three straight, all here at this price-tag going two-turns. Latest earned him a career best figure and he hails from the barn of leading trainer Tim Hamm. Lots of things to like.

2nd pick: #6 (Runningforthemoney) (8-1) - Small barn (Darien Rodriguez) did well with some cheap stock this past winter at Tampa Bay Downs and this gelding will be making his first start outside of Florida and his first on a synthetic surface. Look for an improved effort at a square price.

3rd pick: #5 (Beau Fortune) (5-2) - He was only two back of "Branching" on May 15th, but last out he was much farther (8 lengths) behind that common rival. Runs third back off almost a 100 day break and can factor with his best.

4th pick: #7 (Hezro) (3-1) - The probable second choice in the wagering, improving gelding ships in from Indiana Downs and will switch from grass to "poly" and race in a claimer for the first time. Dangerous on the class reduction.
