Top pick: #9 (ASSOCIATE) - On the sidelines since late January, this colt by Canadian champ "Wando" has shown ability in the past and is in the hot barn of Linda Rice. Training fine for his return, Rice will drop him into a claimer and move him back to the grass where he was competitive in his debut at Saratoga last August. The top pick.

2nd pick: #1a (Conway Hillbilly) - Entered as part of a Dave Fawkes trained entry and with Jose Lezcano listed on both halves at the time the field was drawn, according to New York rules only one can go. Colt took a lot of money in his debut a year ago at Calder and showed some speed from a very tough post (12th of 12). Working nicely for his return and a major player today.

3rd pick: #1 (Perfection Plus) - The second half of the Fawkes duo has been working fast as he nears his debut and has a "bullet" half-mile from the gate here 5 days ago. Looks set if he runs.

4th pick: #6 (Manresa Road) - Colt by "Giant's Causeway" makes his debut today off some nice drills up at Saratoga. Pletcher trained colt was with him in Florida over the winter but did not start.
