Top pick: #5 (THE CUSTODIAN) (7-2) - He's stretching out off a rallying second place finish here at this level going 6.5-furlongs down the hill. Strong finisher has worked fast since and should love this 1 1/8th mile distance.

2nd pick: #1 (Ace Deuce) (4-1) - Speedy sort has improved noticeably since switching to the grass. Has the rail and was beaten narrowly here earlier in the meet going a mile. Win candidate, he should be involved every step.

3rd pick: #3 (Air Nashoba) (3-1) - Lightly-raced gelding moves back to the grass after a rather poor effort on the local dirt March 27th. He had just missed in his previous turf start and should factor with a repeat of that effort.

4th pick: #6 (Freddies Dream) (5-1) - From the same barn as 'Custodian' (Doug O'Neill), he's a long winded type and should love this longer distance. Working fast at Los Al, and the faster the pace, the better his chances.
