Top pick: #6 (WILD PEGASUS) - Oaklawn shipper comes off a pair of solid 3rd place finishes there facing $10k-15K maiden claimer going around two turns. Gelding goes off a private trainer change to Bill Martin (26%), has a fine recent work, and Martin's main rider (Jason Loveberry) is aboard. The pair wins at a fine 26% rate when teamed-up.
2nd pick: #2 (Free Shipping) - Very speedy colt is lightly raced and improving. Last out this son of "Indian Ocean" opened up a big early lead and tired to finish a distant 3rd. Dangerous tonight with any improvement.
3rd pick: #6 (Dr. Bill Putt) - Grey gelding comes off a career best when he finished 3rd here at this level and distance April 27th. He was involved in a speed duel that day and hung on stubbornly.Major factor.
