Top pick: #7 (HIDDEN WARRIOR) (4-1) - He recovered after a bumping incident to chase the pace while wide before tiring in the last furlong going two-turns at this level Feb 28. It was his first in seven weeks and he's only one of two entered with a win on the Aqueduct main track. Speedy sort can take this with a clean getaway.
2nd pick: #8 (Charitable) (5-1) - Colt finished an even third facing a bit tougher going a two-turn mile March 28. It was his first off a Jay Servis claim the cut back to a 'flat' (one-turn) mile is a plus. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Spinning For Home) (3-1) - Lightly-raced 4-year-old takes a big drop in class for his first since being pulled-up on Dec 4. Working fast for his return and is a major threat if ready.
4th pick: #1 (Prime Time City) (8-1) - He has early speed and finished a pacesetting seond at this level March 19. It was his best overall in a year and he should be involved most of the way.
5th pick: #3 (Rivetto) (9-2) - Even-paced type is working nicely for his first since Jan 17. He's racing first off a claim by John Parisella who has returned from his second retirement. The faster the pace, the better this 4-year-old's chances.
