Top pick: #1 (A DAY AWAY) (5-2) - Very consistent gelding missed by a 1/2 length here April 1 racing at this level. It was his first in almost two months and ran his local record to 9-2-2-3. Stalker has the rail and a high-percentage barn (Mike Chambers) brings him back in three weeks.

2nd pick: #3 (Mancala) (5-1) - Speedy sort has been sharp in his last pair and finished a pace-setting second at this level and distance April 7th. Calif. bred has an excellent local record 16-4-4-4 and his speed makes him a win candidate.

3rd pick: #6 (Distort This) (6-1) - Another with speed/stalking ability, he's moving to the grass here after going 5-3-1-1 on the dirt. Veteran has won on the grass in the past and did so on the much tougher So. California circuit.

4th pick: #4 (Luz Atticus) (4-1) - He was a good-looking winner here at this tag on the grass April 7th. He's returned from a 16-month layoff in fine form, and that latest win produced a figure that fits with this group.
