Top pick: #5 (S K R'S SPARTAN) - He has excellent early speed and catches a field that should offer little resistance in the opening furlongs. He won his latest in front-running style at Pimlico and can take another today.
2nd pick: #4 (Matz) - Races first off a Cody Autry claim (21%) and a subsequent 7 week freshening. Stalker shoul have the top pick within range turning for home if good enough.
3rd pick: #8 (Midnight Thunder) - He was impressive in winning April 18th at Pimlico but then raced evenly on this surface last out. Capable, but will need some pace help do derail the top two picks.
