Top pick: #3 (ALLRIGHTSRESERVED) - Grey son of "Awesome Again" was claimed out of an impressive win last November at Churchill by trainer Juan Guerrero. New barn sent him in for a 3 1/2 month layoff at that time and 5-year-old returned to action here 3 weeks ago. Claimed for $15K he raced for $25K that afternoon at this distance and was run down in the last 100 yards after being involved in a contested pace until the head of the stretch, where he drew clear, but could not hold on. The horse to beat with any improvement.
2nd pick: #5 (Food Rules) - Well-bred, lightly raced, very fast, and improving. This colt comes off an impressive win here Mar 15 when he went wire-to-wire in a sprint at this level. The effort was the best of his career and trainer Ramon Preciado will stretch him out in distance this afternoon. Very dangerous opponent could be very tough if he gets an easy lead.
