Top pick: #7 (DON'T LOCK ME OUT) - He's finished second in three straight here at this condition and price and they came after a switch in barns to leading trainer Jamie Ness following a claim. 5-year-old has lost very close decisions in his last pair and can finish the job off this afternoon.
2nd pick: #5 (Prizes Included) - Gelding raced evenly at this level and distance Feb. 24, then was beaten a neck last out racing for $16,000. They were his first ever on the grass and that recent narrow loss was the best start in his 13-race career.
3rd pick: #4 (Saturday in May) - Lightly-raced 5-year-old gelding by "Afleet Alex" tackles winners off a 7 week break following a sharp maiden win here Feb. 29. He was away for almost two years after debuting in early Feb of 2010 and he probably has more improving in him.
