Top pick: #4 (BERTIE'S PLANET) - Consistent gelding just missed at the Fair Grounds racing for $12.5K March 30th and was claimed that afternoon by trainer Allen Landry. He brings him back quickly with a slight raise in price and stalker is the choice for the win.
2nd pick: #3 (Chief Ted) - In a good small barn (Dave Banks) this gelding broke his maiden in a 5 furlong sprint at the Fair Grounds on March 24th. Win came off almost a 7 month layoff and was his first in blinkers. Lightly raced, he can be in this from start to finish at a nice price.
3rd pick: #8 (Dapple Down) - Recent maiden winner did so at the Fair Grounds on March 30th racing for $12.5K. Has a flexible style, is lightly raced, and a repeat of his latest "figure" makes him a contender.
