Top pick: #2 (AEROMON) - Grey gelding races for the first time since last August when he ran evenly at this price in a 6 furlong race on the Del Mar "poly." Working steadily for a good long layoff barn (Vlad Cerin 26%), and 4-year-old by "Maria's Mon" can take this at a square price.
2nd pick: #8 (Preferred Mandate) - The probable favorite has finished second in three of his last four starts and the latest cam on this surface facing tougher on May 8th. No knocks from be and should be viewed as an equal of the top pick.
3rd pick: #7 (Party Ruler) - Races third off an 8 1/2 month layoff and gelding has run evenly in his return pair. Has a solid drill on May 26th, Gomez stays put, and he can impact with some improvement.
