Top pick: #11 (THE CUSTODIAN) (6-1) - Longshot is improving and meets a field where his closing tactics can be effective. There's lots of speed signed on, and this Reddam colt has run well in his last pair at this 'tricky,' 'down the hill' course.
2nd pick: #7 (McHeat) (5) - Lightly raced, he's improved since switching to the turf. Home bred is cutting back in distance after a pair of even efforts going a mile.
3rd pick: #1 (Hazardous Dreams) (7-2) - Speed/stalker finished third at this level and distance Feb. 16th. It was his second off a long layoff, and he should be involved every step from his inside post. Win candidate.
4th pick: #12 (Freddies Dream) (12-1) - Price play raced evenly here Feb. 16th in his first since late April. Working fast for this, and he may grab a share at a very long odds.
5th pick: #8 (Hye I'm Jack) (8-1) - He has some early speed and is racing second off a 13 1/2 month layoff. His return was competitive and he can impact with normal second back improvement.
