Top pick: #3 (CONCIER) - He was a very sharp maiden winner here as a heavy favorite just 12 days ago and trainer Dan McFarlane brings him back quickly off that career best. Barn has him spotted perfectly in this allowance and I like his chances on the fast turnaround.

2nd pick: #6 (Whiskey Trip) - He broke his maiden at Sunland Park on March 4th and is switched from one high-percentage barn (Greg Green 21%) to another (Jeff Metz 19%). Speed/stalker can factor from just off the pace in this spot.

3rd pick: #1 (Officer Jones) - Gelding was an impressive winner at Fairplex last fall when for the only time in his three outings when he broke cleanly. Working fine for his first start since Nov. 5, and the combination of leading jockey (Carreno) and trainer Bob Diodoro wins at a solid 27% rate.
