Top pick: #8 (HIT A HOMERUN) (7-2) - Nice debut here March 28th saw him press a quick pace and hold gamely to check in third of eight, beaten 1 1/2 lengths. He's worked since, is brought back quickly, and gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #7 (Hired Gun) (6-1) - Debuting gelding by 'Congrats" has some sharp works showing and is from the always dangerous bar of Doug O'Neill. Nicely spotted in his debut.

3rd pick: #2 (Flexible) (5-1) - Freshened up since early Dec., the Hollendorfer drops him into a claimer for the first time. Working fast, Bejarano stays aboard, and colt should factor on the big class drop.

4th pick: #6 (Keegers) (12-1) - He racing second back off a long layoff and he was only beaten 3 1/2 lengths in his return March 28th. Dangerous at a square price.

5th pick: #11 (Upbeat Tempo) (6-1) - Another that's dropping, he's also going turf to dirt and cutting back in distance. His post hurts his chances a bit.
