Top pick: #8 (COOK INLET) (2-1) - Gelding has raced evenly in a pair since being claimed by Jerry Hollendorfer in early Feb. Wide in his latest on the grass, he moves back to the dirt and veteran has gone 8-2-0-3 on the local main track in the past. Bejarano is back aboard and this 6-year-old is the horse to beat.

2nd pick: #1 (Twin Six) (4-1) - He's been freshened up since being claimed by Bob Diodoro for $9000 March 22nd. Strong finisher likes this surface 5-1-2-1 and both of those wins have come at this distance. Diodoro wins at a 29% rate first off the claim, and is at 27% off of long brteaks. Win candidate.

3rd pick: #2 (Fit to Rule) (9-5) - The main speed, he's won two in a row here and both have been at this mile distance. In career best shape at present, gelding runs first off a Kory Owens claim is an obvious threat if he holds his form.

4th pick: #5 (Tucker's Point) (8-1) - Not a win candidate, he may grab a share at a square price with a late rally with one of his better efforts.
