Top pick: #2 (WILD ALLEY CAT) - Gelding spent the first part of his career in the mid-Atlantic region before trainer Larry Allen brought him here at the start of this meet. 4yo by "Flower Alley" is (8-1-4-1) on this surface this season and last out finished 2nd at this level and price going 6 furlongs March 30th. In his previous effort he was a winner at this 7 furlong distance and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #4 (Victory Cat) - Another who came here from the mid-Atlantic area, he'll be racing for the 2nd time off a 7 month vacation. He ran evenly in his return start and has a solid work heading into this attempt. Think he can impact at a nice price.
3rd pick: #8 (Hope Defered) - He has some back class and runs 3rd back off an 80 day freshening in this spot. He showed some improvement here in his 2nd off the brief rest and can factor today if he takes another forward step.
