Top pick: #4 (GO GAMECOCKS) (2-1) - He raced evenly from a tough outside post (11th of 11) when debuting against tougher at Keeneland April 18th. Trainer Tim Girten has worked him here twice since then, drops him way down in price, and colt by "Tale of the Cat" is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #2 (A Laugh an a Joke) (9-5) - Four-year-old is working very fast locally for his first since late Sept. He has the rail and owner/trainer Randy Russell will drop him into a claimer for the first time. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #1a (Burning Point) (3-1) - He's part of a Teresa Connelly trained entry and is racing for the first time since last July. He has early speed, is working fast, and will be racing on a "poly" surface for the first time.
