Top pick: #1 (HOOSIER BOY) (6-1) - Monmouth shipper has some early speed and has been facing tougher fields than this. Has the rail, and it's noted that leading rider Gallardo is signed on. Can take this at a square price.
2nd pick: #6 (Analyst) (3-1) - Lightly-raced 3-year-old stretches out in distance after rallying to finish second here at this tag going 6.5-furlongs June 25. It was his first since Dec 13 and first ever on a synthetic surface. An obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Comeonwillie) (2-1) - 'Willy' is another stretching out in distance. Even paced type rallied to finish third here June 25 at this tag going 6.5-furlongs. Can impact, but believe the top pair are more likely to win this.
4th pick: #4 (Cliffs of Malibu) (6-1) - He ran second here at this tag going 6-furlongs June 17, then raced both wide and evenly in a follow up start July 5 at the same level and distance.
