Top pick: #8 (OUR SENIOR MOMENTS) - Lightly-raced 3-year-old just failed to hold on last out at this price going 6.5 furlongs in his first back off a 7 week break. Race was his first in blinkers and a high percentage barn (Cliff Sise Jr. 30%) brings him back in 24 days and this speed/stalker draws outside of the other pace. Looks set for his maiden win.
2nd pick: #4 (Cut n'Deal) - He regressed last out when he raced evenly here facing tougher. Previuos pair wer at this tag and 4-year-old gelding finished second in each. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (Chi Cha Cha) - Drops in start No. 3 and this 4-year-old will also cut-back in distance, and get a major rider upgrade to Raf Bejarano. In his debut here April 21st facing better, he was only beaten just over 3 lengths in a large field. Contends this afternoon.
4th pick: #6 (Point Mugu) - Runs second off an 8 month break from trainer Neil Drysdale and he'll drop him down in price and shorten him up in distance. Blinkers are added and he looks set to show whatever he has in this spot.
