Top pick: #3 (COMMA TO THE TOP) (9-5) - His task became a lot easier when trainer Bob Baffert scratched speedball "Fast Bullet," and he would have been the main speed and a strong contender. "Comma" always gives everything he has and he's four for eight at this distance, and has a similar record on this surface. Working fast and the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #7 (A Priority) (7-2) - With the scratch of "Fast Bullett," trainer Bob Baffert goes with this veteran who last out finished a close up third to the very talented "Jimmy Creed" in the (G2) "Portro Grande" at Santa Anita on April 6. Working fast locally, and the outside post gives Raf Bejarano some early options.
3rd pick: #4 (Tiz Tee Time) (10-1) - Interesting shipper has improved noticeably since being claimed by trainer Cody Autry for $40K at Oaklawn Park in early Feb. Gelding is (8-2-2-1) at this distance and is (7-2-2-1) in the past racing on synthetic tracks. Stretch threat.
