2nd pick: #5 (Grand Gambler) (2-1) - Blinkers go on home-bred that has some sharp early speed. He has ability and draws inside of the other speed.
3rd pick: #9 (Bullet Mobile) (6-1) - On the also-eligible list, he has early speed, is lightly raced, and can factor at a big price if he draws in.
4th pick: #2 (Star of America) (8-1) - Longshot is training nicely for his first since late Jan. at Santa Anita. He has some races in his past that make him a threat if repeatable.
