Top pick: #1a (LORO) - Lightly-raced son of "El Corredor" is in the patient barn of John Shirreffs and runs for the first time since last July when he finished a close-up fourth here at this level and trip. Working very fast and looks set of the long layoff for a big effort.
2nd pick: #6 (Britt's Brother) - Colt by "Medaglia d' Oro" has good early speed and will cut-back in distance and go "poly" to grass this afternoon. Working fast, and I almost put him on top.
3rd pick: #2 (Kingpin Ryno) - He ran the race of his life last out when he missed by a head to the heavy favorite in a stakes for maidens on the mai track April 23rd. Switches to the grass and it's a surface he was bred to love. Home -bred contends in this spot.
