Top pick: #8 (ED'S MAGIC) (3-1) - Gelding has been freshened up since finishing third when facing a bit tougher on March 8th. Consistent sort has gone 7-2-2-2 on the dirt and is 2-1-1-0 on this surface. Speed/stalker is in a good small barn (Michelle Nevin) and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #2 (Pepe) (12-1) - "Pepe" was an impressive winner facing weaker on Jan. 9 to clear the 2l condition. Gelding likse time between his starts and trainer Jay Servis has him working well for this attempt. Price play.
3rd pick: #3 (Define) (4-1) - From the barn of leading trainer Dave Jacobson, once classier type hasn't raced since a poor effort at Saratoga on Aug. 1. Working steadily, one-run type returns at a new low and is a major threat with his best.
4th pick: #1 (Conticinio) (6-1) - Stalker tired here on April 5th in his first off a Laura Perillo claim. Drops back down to the purchase price, has the rail, and fits with his best.
