Premium Pick
Willard Straight (#9) - Hasn't raced since October, but trainer Pletcher wins at 30% of his horses returning from a 180 day or longer layoff and he's already returned twice to win off an extended layoff the last 2 years.

L'Oiseau d'Argent (#8) - Has won 3 of 5 lifetime races at today's distance and graded stakes warrior will lead from the gate in this allowance event. Classy 7-year-old will play catch me if you can.

Everything To Gain (#7) - Loves this Keeneland turf course while never compiling a 2-1-1 record from 4 starts. With three races down in Florida this year, he's one of those most fit contenders in the race.

Cosmic Kris (#5) - Hit the board in 10 of 11 races last season when racing against only 3-year-olds. Only off the board effort was his last race and that will give us a fair price on this consistent fellow who fits with these on class as he lost to the tough Gun Salute by just a neck.

The Plays: Exacta Box 5-7-8-9 ($12).
Note: Price is based on a $1 ticket.
