Top pick: #6 (POLIZIOTTO) - Grey "ridgling" hasn't raced since he finished second here at this level when debuting just over a year ago. He set a solid pace that day and trainer Chad Brown has him working sharply for his return.
2nd pick: #8 (Hope Still Springs) - He was "pulled-up" last out at Belmont after being bumped in what was his first start since early December. He's worked fine since and ran well in his two turf starts last in 2011.
3rd pick: #4 (Honest Johnny) - He took a lot of money in his debut but he broke slowly and raced both wide and evenly. Trainer Linda Rice stretches him out in distance and he'll contend with an alert beginning.
4th pick: #7 (Prime Devil) - He exits the same last race as "Johnny" and finished an even fourth in a solid debut. Trainer Dale Romans will stretch him out in distance and he must be left in the mix.
