Top pick: #1 (BUFF DADDY) (5-2) - Strong finisher enters this in form and he races first off a Molly Pearson claim (4 for her last 10). Grey gelding draws a ground saving post and should get a solid pace to close into.
2nd pick: #4 (Smarty Fawcett) (4-1) - Since shipping back from Hastings Park in late october, veteran has gone (8-1-3-1) and last out was beaten a neck racing at this level and distance March 30th. Obvious threat.
3rd pick: #9 (Pursuxit) (6-1) - Speedy sort goes turf to dirt and drops in class in his first off a two month break. Capable and his early speed should have him in this from start-to-finish.
4th pick: #5 (Jethro) (12-1) - He's raced evenly in his last pair after a win here at this tag & trip on Jan 7th. He has more speed than most and draws a better post thath he's had in his last pair.
5th pick: #10 (Stormy Seattle) (4-1) - Old-timer likes this distance (26-6-4-4)and enters this in shape. However, his lack of early speed and a tough outside post work against him. Needs some pace help and a "smart' ride.
