Top pick: #5 (EASTER GIFT) (4-1) - Pretty amazing that in this allowance feature the six entered have won a total of $3.1M during their careers. This son of "Hard Spun" is the youngest and the most lightly raced and ships from Aqueduct where he defeated weaker on March 7th. Speed/stalker is working fast at Belmont for this attempt and can take this at a square price.
2nd pick: #3 (Ponzi Scheme) (5-1) - Speedy sort stretches out after an even effort at Aqueduct in a 6-furlong sprint on March 14th. Race was his first since Nov. 3 and he's been working sharply at Fair Hill since. Veteran likes the surface (7-1-3-2) and has won at this distance in the past.
3rd pick: #1 (Dilatory) (10-1) - The main speed, he enters this having won two of his last three here and comes off a career best Matrch 21st. In shape, has the rail, and could prove tough to catch if he gets an easy early advantage.
