Top pick: #1 (EL RAYITO) - Strong finisher finished 2nd beaten a length March 18th when trainer Manny Criollo dropped him down to rac for $8000 for the first time. Gelding by "Milwaukee Brew" is on the improve and meets a field where many will be backing-up turning for home. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #10 (Nicklewood) - Colt raced evenly last out despite a stumbling start and veteran trainer Forrest Kaelin will stretch him out in distance this afternoon. Home-bred has a fine work March 29th and the former "King of Tampa Bay" (Dan Centeno) rides for the first time.
3rd pick: #5 (Woods Hole) - This is start #22, but veteran maiden likes this distance and doesn't face alot of drop downs in this spot. Colt should be involved today from gate to wire.
