Top pick: #4 (HAZARDOUS DREAMS) (3-1) - NEW gelding is working nicely at Los Alamitos for his first start since April 18th. Trainer Dean Peterson drops him down in class and has him racing on the dirt for the first time. Gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #1 (Blame It On Tekela) (2-1) - He keeps drawing the inside post and that means he has to be used right at the break. Gelding has finished second in three of his last four starts, all here at this level going around two-turns. Some of those fields were deeper than this and he's a win candidate in this spot.
3rd pick: #7 (Archie Bunker) (8-1) - "Archie" raced both wide and evenly here facing tougher at this trip May 14th. Originally scheduled for the grass, contest was switched to the main track. Think he'll contend at a square price.
4th pick: #2 (Lucky Shoes to Win) (10-1) - Long shot has early speed and tired badly last out after being involved in a pace duel. Working very fast since then, he has a solid shot at a big price.
