Top pick: #11 (TOP CATS RANSOM) - Lightly raced, speedy, and improving, he set a fast pace last out at the Fair Grounds and tired late to finish 3rd racing for $15K. Winning barn drops him slightly and gelding the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #12 (Soviet Afleet) - Freshened-up since late Feb, this 4yr.old has been racing evenly for twice this price and his connections drop his price in half for this attempt. He draws a good post for this distance and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Hot Ace) - Heavily bet last out at the Fair Grounds, he pressed a fast pace from an outside post and held strongly to finish 2nd. Win threat with a repeat of that effort.
