Top pick: #4 (HALF A WELL) (5-2) - Consistent sort has finished second in three straight starts, the latest pair here at this tag & trip. In shape, and speed/stalker will be very tough on this crew.
2nd pick: #2 (Fuhrever Dancing) (6-1) - He did not break sharply in his seasonal debut on May 27, but did manage to rally to finish third. Race was his first in 8 1/2 months, and trainer Timm Hamm brings him back quickly for this attempt.
3rd pick: #6 (Hobo to Hero) (8-1) - He rallied to run second in his seasonal debut on My 21, and that encoursging effort came off an eight month layoff. The faster the pace, the better his chances.
4th pick: #5 (Mukamer) (3-1) - He comes off a pair of sharp back-to-back starts here, and has raced himself into shape after returning from a seven month break on March 2. Can factor, but think he needs to step it up a bit.
