Top pick: #3 (GREAT LOU) (7-5) - Speedball has won 3-of-6 overall with a pair of those coming here. Gelding enters off a career best when he went wire-to-wire March 26th when racing for a $25K tag. Race was his first in seven weeks and he was claimed out of it by Bob Diodoro. New barn wins at a 28% rate first off the claim and they double this 3-year-old up in class.

2nd pick: #5 (Hot Lightning) (7-2) - Stalker moves out in the gate after being sent hard from the rail last out. He set a quick and pressured pace racing at this tag and held gamely to finish third. Barn removes his blinkers and Raf Bejarano is back aboard after a two race absence.

3rd pick: #4 (Hurry Up Henry) (4-1) - He returns off a three month layoff as a new gelding. Working fast for this attempt, he broke his maiden here Dec 26, then tired Jan 10 in his first facing winners. In the mix.
