Top pick: #3 (SANDY'Z SLEW) (2-1) - Lightly-raced gelding has been freshened up since late March when he showed good speed before tiring facing tougher. Working fast for his comebacker, trainer Rich Schosberg adds blinkers and he scratched this 3-year-old last Sat against a much better field.
2nd pick: #6 (D J's Hope) (9-2) - Another who is lightly raced and he has excellent early speed. Improving, goes third off a seven week break, and trainer Rick DeMola removes this colt's blinkers after a one race experiment.
3rd pick: #4 (Hooked Forever) (8-1) - One-run type has some talent and is another racing with blinker's removed. Can factor today at a square price.
4th pick: #2 (Can't Catch Me Now) (20-1) - Longshot goes turf to dirt after an even effort here on the grass April 28th. He draws a much better post for this and his best start ever came on this surface last Sept.
