Top pick: #1 (IFYOUGOTTHENOTION) (8-5) - Colt has been sharp in both starts and draws the rail for this attempt. Home-bred won his debut at Penn National on Feb. 1, then set a quick and pressured pace before tiring to run second here at this level on March 11th. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #2 (Lust for Money) (5-2) - Gelding tries winners for the first time, following an 8 1/2 length maiden win here on March 15th. It was his first with lasix, only his second overall, and son of "Fairbanks" is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Bright Skies) (5-1) - The field's most experienced runner, he pressed "Ifyougotthenotion" last out and tired to check-in third, two back of that rival. Must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #6 (Change of Seasons) (4-1) - He ships in from Laurel where he defeated $40K "open" maidens when debuting on March 12th. The figure earned fits and this home-bred is in with fellow Pa.-breds for his first against winners.
