Top pick: #6 (BRAVEMAN) (8-5) - The probable favorite, colt by "Unbridled's Song" finished a strong pace-pressing second when debuting on April 18 at Keeneland. $150K weanling has since come back with a bullet half-mile breeze on this surface, and he's the horse to beat.

2nd pick: #8 (Stormin Henry) (2-1) - He shown dramatic improvement in his second start when he rallied while wide to finish third of nine, beaten a half length racing on the Pimlico dirt April 26. Trainer Mike Trombetta brings him back quickly and switches him to a "poly" surface for the first time.

3rd pick: #7 (Recon) (20-1) - Longshot has been on the sidcelines since Nov. 14 when he finished fifth of 11, beaten seven lengths on the Churchill dirt following a slow start. He's training very fast at Turfway Park for his return and will be a big price.

4th pick: #4 (Ghost Is Fine) (20-1) - Another longshot, he was competitive in two of four starts here last year, and is training fast locally for his return. Veteran trainer B.K.Sipp adds blinkers for the first time, and this colt by "Ghostzapper" could grab a share if ready.
