Top pick: #3 (SAFETY CHECK) - Colt hasn't raced since tiring at this level going a mile here last June. Home-bred by "Empire Maker" broke his maiden in impressive fashion on this surface 11 months ago and is training very fast for his return. Speedy colt can win this one early.
2nd pick: #5 (Tuvia's Force) - Colt by "Mineshaft" was highly though of early in his career and finished second at Delaware Park late in 2009 to eventual Kentucky Derby(G1) winner Super Saver when they both were maidens. Now four-year-old he rallied to finish second at this level at Aqueduct on March 26th in his first race in just over a year and should be "fitter" for this attempt. Win candidate.
