Top pick: #4 (BARBICONIZ) (3-1) - Claimed March 22nd by Tim Hooper for $7500, colt rallied from far back to finish 4th at that price April 25 in his first for the new barn. By far a career best and he should be able to run these down in the last furlong.
2nd pick: #3 (More Money) (5-2) - Another without much speed, he's finished 3rd without threatening in his two starts at this tag. In his defense, he had traffic issues in one of those and had a slow start in the other.
3rd pick: #7 (Kelly's Honor) (7-2) - Grey gelding showed little last out going a mile and trainer Kate Demasi immedistaly cuts him back to a sprint. He'd been competitive in his previous pair at this level & distance and has a bit more speed than the top two selections. Dangerous if he clears early.
4th pick: #6 (Monstrous Trueno) (4-1) - Debuting colt is in the barn of veteran Rick Vega and he brings along Rolando Alvarado Jr from Philly Park for the mount. Working fine and a threat if ready.
