Top pick: #3 (BROTHER JIM) - In excellent form at this stage, he was an easy wire to wire winner here at this price 16 days ago and that victory came in his second start back off a 4 1/2 month layoff and a trainer switch to Angel Silva. Much the horse to beat in this spot.

2nd pick: #5 (Rough Shot) - Away from the races for 8 1/2 months, he's been raced back into shape by trainer Amalio Trejo and looks for his third win in a row in this spot. Stalker fits at the price and distance and should get a very fast pace to rally into.

3rd pick: #7 (Speed McTreeb) - Lightly-raced gelding was a sharp maiden winner here Feb. 22, but tired last out at this price facing weaker 2L foes on a sloppy track in his first start against winners. Capable, but needs to do better.
