Top pick: #10 (SUM OF THE PARTS) (7-2) - Colt ships in from Kentucky, where he tired after setting a quick and pressured pace before weakening going six furlongs on the dirt. Race was his first in seven weeks, and only his second since he finished fourth in last Novembers "Breeder's Cup Sprint"(G1). He's three for three on synthetic surfaces, and won the $100K "Tom Ridge" here 13 months ago in his only previous local effort.

2nd pick: #2 (Next Question) (3-1) - He's one of a pair of contenders entered by trainer Mike Trombetta, and the pair race uncoupled. Multiple stakes winner ran just three days ago at Belmont and may or may not run. Speed/stalker was approaching his best before that sloppy track effort, and is a threat if he goes.

3rd pick: #7 (Grand Old Game) (10-1) - The second of the Trombetta pair, he just missed here facing weaker on May 14 in what was his first race in seven months. Hard-hitting speed/stalker loves this surface (9-4-2-1), and has worked fast twice since his comebacker.

4th pick: #8 (Poseidon's Warrior) (4-1) - He was scratched out of a stakes at Monmouth on Sat., and will be racing for only the second time on a synthetic surface. Has plenty of back class, and is a major force if in the mood.

5th pick: #9 (Dazzled Saint) (5-1) - Very speedy veteran finished third in this stakes last year, and he tired to finish third, two back of "Game" in his seasonal debut on May 14. Race was his first in nine months, and he's since come back with a blazing work.
