No. 5 THE JONES BOY (6-1) dueled inside and weakened as the beaten favorite at Monmouth Park June 4, and that was his first start almost half a year. He flees the rail and returns to his home base, and he won two local races last year including one at this distance. He can set or press the pace and might be fitter this time.
No. 7 Divine Miracle (9-5) captured six of his last eight starts at longer distances. The win type owns early-pressing versatility and clearly likes this oval.
No. 4 Fast Bob (9-2) had trouble in a local route May 11. He rallied to win a local sprint April 12 and barn shows a profit route-to-sprint.
No, 3 Ruffy (5-1) is 1-for-14 with eight minor awards. He turns back in distance and should be forwardly placed. He can get a piece of this.
