Top pick: #6 (YOU MAKE ME BLUE) (6-1) - Grey gelding is cutting back in distance off a pair of good efforts at this level going a mile. His lone win came here at this distance and he caan take this from just off the pace.
2nd pick: #5 (Heat Man) (8-1) - Lightly-raced and well-bred, 4-year-old tries winners for the first time following a very "game" maiden win here going 5 furlongs on March 12th. Small barn has him conservatively spotted and this 4-year-old by "Latent heat" is a threat right back.
3rd pick: #3 (Twist My Kazoo) (5-2) - Gelding hasn't raced since early Nov at Golden Gate Fields and is training well locally for his return. 6-year-old gets a major trainer upgrade to Jeff Metz and he wins at a 23% clip with new stock.
4th pick: #1 (Smokin Mojo) (9-2) - Veteran returns to real dirt for the first time since last fall and the belief here is that it's his favorite surface. Has the rail and runs first time for trainer Angel Silva (a 25% winning angle).
