Top pick: #6 (MOONSTRUCK COWBOY) (2-1) - Gelding by the hard-hitting "Two Punch" has finished second in two straight since being claimed by John Locke for $12.5K on Dec. 14 and being sent in for a seven week freshening. Speed/stalker has the other pace to his inside and that's to his advantage.
2nd pick: #1 (Fusetheopportunity) (4-1) - Speed/stalker was a wiiner here racing for $10K on Feb. 24 in his first start since July 15th. Claimed that afternoon by Ramon Preciado, he brings him back 23 days later and runs him in a spot where he can't lose him. Has the rail and should be involved every step.
3rd pick: #5 (Noifswhatorbuts) - He just missed here racing for a $16k tag in his best overall since returning from a seven week break in late Jan. Pa.-bred has some back class, fits, and is in the three-horse win mix.
4th pick: #3 (Ride Candy Ride) (10-1) - One-run type goes second off almost a three month layoff and it's 10lb apprentice Spadoni off and veteran Rivera on. Gelding could grab a minor award at a big price.
