Top pick: #3 (GUTSHOT STRAIGHT) - Heavily bet at Santa Anita racing for twice this price Apr. 10th, this 3-year-old was involved from start to finish and came up a head short. Effort was his first since last May when he ran well on this surface and trainer Pete Miller will drop his price in half this afternoon. Much the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #6 (Naturaliste) - Chased and tired here at this price just six days ago and that was his second start back off a Doug O'Neill claim and a three-month layoff. Latest came with blinkers added and this son of Saint Liam is a major factor if he runs on short notice.
3rd pick: #1 (Blind Magic) - Improving colt by "Songandaprayer" has the rail, early speed, and just missed on this surface Apr. 22nd. Four-year-old should be in this from gate-to-wire.
