Top pick: #6 (NAKAMOTO) (3-1) - He just missed here at this distance racing for a $75K tag May 24. A career best, it came off a 2-month break. Trainer Adam Kitchingman drops him down a bit and brings him back in under three weeks. The horse to beat.

2nd pick: #9 (True Image) (5-1) - Gelding was only 1 1/2 lengths behind 'Nakamoto' last out in in first ever on the grass. By far a career best, he's working fast since and is a threat with a repeat of it.

3rd pick: #3 (Currency Exchange) (3-1) - Gelding by 'Curlin' rallied to finish second here at this trip facing claimers March 27. Moved back up in class April 30, he rallied to finish a non-threatening fourth. Drops back down and is a stretch threat.

4th pick: #7 (Pyrotechnics) (12-1) - He's making his 15th lifetime start and has yet to finish better than third. Warren home bred tired May 14 in his first since last July and is racing with blinkers on. Think he'll be competitive at a big price, as he's faced much tougher in the majority of his starts.
