Top pick: #1a (MAYFEVER) - Lightly raced colt rallied to finish second here at this price and distance two weeks ago in his second local appearance since coming here from California. Race was his first in blinkers and he can win this with just a bit of improvement. The top pick, he races coupled in the wagering with #1 Rum Diary.
2nd pick: #7 (Devil's Off Duty) - Appears to be getting a bit better and in his last effort he finished fourth at this price and distance Mar 26. One-run type should get a fast pace to rally into and should be a nice price in the odds.
3rd pick: #6 (Steinbrenner) - Speedy gelding tired after setting the pace in the same race as Mayfever and finished 6 lengths behind that rival in that Apr 5 contest. Well-bred, the main speed, and he'll take them as far as he can.
4th pick: #9 (Hollywood Lou) - Rallied to finish second at this price Mar 26 in his first start racing with blinkers added. Effort resulted in his first in the money finish and he could factor again this afternoon with a repeat of it.
