Top pick: #7 (VALENTINO'S GOLD) (5-2) - Veteran comes off a solid third-place finish here at this level going 7-furlongs on April 1st. Stalker earned this field's highest last out "figure" that afternoon and draws a nice outside post for his style. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #4 (A Fleet Attitude) (7-2) - Lightly-raced and well-bred, gelding hasn't raced since last fall when he went 3-0-1-2 at this level after coming off a seven week freshening. Pa.-bred spent the winter working in Florida at Palm Meadows and looks ready off his drills.
3rd pick: #3 (Super Slam) (4-1) - Gelding has a bit of speed and last out tired to finish fifth of six, beaten 6 lengths after chasing a fast pace at this condition. He's worked since and should be involved from start-to-finish.
4th pick: #2 (Wise Mac) (3-1) - West Virginia-bred takes a big step up after a trio of easy wins at Charles Town this year. Four-year-old gelding has won from both on the lead and just off of it and ships in off a bullet 3-furlong work on April 10.
