Top pick: #5 (UNCLE MO) - Last year's two-year-old champion is 4-for-4 and has already beaten much tougher fields than he faces in this stakes. He's already won around two-turns and he overcame some adversity when winning his seasonal debut at Gulfstream four weeks ago. Working fast and if he can't beat this crew he won't be running in Kentucky on May 7.

2nd pick: #2 (Toby's Corner) - He was a convincing winner of the $100K Whirlaway on the inner-surface Feb. 5, thenran a non-threatening 3rd a month later in the (G3) Gotham. He was a bit "rank" that day and trainer Graham Motion will add the "hood" this afternoon. Think he'll run well.

3rd pick: #4 (Arthur's Tale) - He defeated a weaker field last out in the slop on the inner-surface but is well-bred, cost a lot ($750,000) and is in a patient barn (Tom Albertrani). Dominguez is aboard for the first time and that's always a plus.

4th pick: #8 (Norman Asbjornson) - Improving sort ran second to the promising Stay Thirsty in the Gotham and has a bullet 5 furlong drill at his home-base of Boeie a week ago. He has more speed than most entered and can factor in the same race exotics.
