Top pick: #7 (LEADING CANDIDATE) - Colt by "Smarty Jones" finished second at Keeneland at this price and distance April 13th in his first race since last July at saratoga. He's come back with a bullet half-mile work in the slop here nine days ago and looks all set for his maiden win.
2nd pick: #5 (Winter Canyon) - Son of "Storm Cat" out of an "Unbridled" mare cost $950,000 and races this afternoon for $25K. He's been competritive in his last pair following an 18 month layoff and should offer whatever he has in this spot.
3rd pick: #4 (Making Tracks) - He has excellent early speed and trainer Wayne Catalano will drop him a bit & switch him from turf to dirt. Has a shot on the front end, but last out was defeated by "Candidate" by almost 8 lengths.
