Top pick: #6 (DO WHAT U DARE) (5-2) - Veteran enters off a win here at this tag and distance facing slightly weaker 1-year-old foes on April 9th. Gelding has some back class and is (5-1-1-1) on this surface since coming here from the No. California circuit late in 2012. In shape and the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #3 (Sax) (3-1) - Win candidate, 7-year-old has had his form turned around by the fine barn of Molly Pearson since coming under her care sometime late last year. Speed/stalker was a winner here on April 12th and earned the highest last race "figure" of any entered. Very dangerous.
3rd pick: #1 (Tymaker) (4-1) - He finished a distant second to "Sax" April 13th in his first off a seven week break, then was a neck winner at the same condition on April 22nd. Barn (Val Lund) brings him back quickly and speed/stalker draws the rail.
4th pick: #7 (Sudden Excess) (4-1) - Old-timer was a winner here at this tag and trip on March 30th, then tired after setting a fast pace in a one mile grass contest facing tougher April 16th. Drops back dow, goes turf to dirt, shortens up in distance, and it's apprentice Gonzalez off and Scott Stevens on.
