Top pick: #6 (SCHOOL YARD) (5-1) - Colt was scratched last week after drawing a tough outside post and draws a better slot for this assignment. He's finished second in half of his six grass starts and just missed racing for a $50K tag at Gulfstream on March 21st.
2nd pick: #8 (Romans Paradise) (6-1) - Gelding by "Hard Spun" raced evenly here at this tag last out after finishing third in his previous pair. Stalker is stringing starts together and draws outside of the speed types. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Western Exchange) (4-1) - In the same barn (Chris Clement) as Belmont winner "Tonalist," lightly-raced colt rallied to finish third on Jan. 3 at Gulfstream running at this level. Son of "Exchange Rate" is working steadily for his return and is a threat if ready.
4th pick: #2 (Jigsaw) (3-1) - Formerly in the Clement barn, colt was claimed last out for $50K by trainer Gary Contessa. Lightly-raced 3-year-old finished fourth that day racing on the dirt and is brought back quickly and moves back to the grass.
