Top pick: #6 (HOWL) (8-5) - Owned and bred by the legendary Claiborne Farm, son of "Arch" finished second when facing tougher in late Dec. and has had serious problems at the break in his latest pair. Son of "Arch" drops into claimers for the first time, is working well, and draws a fine outside slot at this one-turn mile. The horse to beat.

2nd pick: #5 (Againsome) (2-1) - He takes the same sizeable drop as "Howl" but hasn't run as well up to this point. Freshened up since Feb. 28, trainer Todd Pletcher drops this $400,000 colt by "Awesome Again" down to race for a $35K tag. Dangerous today.

3rd pick: #3 (Eight Cents) (6-1) - Four-year-old has been competitive in four of his six starts and rallied to finish fourth here at this level and distance April 2nd. He broke poorly that afternoon and can factor with an alert getaway.
