Top pick: #5 (ULTIMATE DECISION) - Gelding broke his maiden here at this distance racing for $20K Jan 2nd and was claimed that day by Doug O'Neill. He was an impressive winner in a starter-allowance 17 days later in his first for the new barn, but has raced evenly in his last pair facing tougher. Drops down to the purchase price and he's the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #4 (Rock This Way) - Speedy and improving gelding went wire to wire facing weaker at this trip April 1st in his first off a trainer change to Vlad Cerin. Has back class and he had a fine half-mile breeze here 5 days ago. Dangerous foe.
