Top pick: #2 (KICK 'N BUTT) (5-2) - Colt enters off a second-place finish here at this level going 6-furlongs on the inner-surface March 24th. It was his first off a Linda Rice claim and 3-year-old by "Posse" should appreciate the extra furlong he travels today.
2nd pick: #5 (Go Go Gus) (6-1) - Laurel invader was heavily favored there racing at this price-tag on March 8th, but was never involved after being bumped heavily at the start. It was his first back off almost a three month break and this gelding has some "sneaky" early speed in a race filled with mostly plodders.
3rd pick: #4 (Champion Lane) (3-1) - Gelding enters off a career best when he rallied to finish second of seven, beaten almost four lengths racing at this level on March 27th. The distance is in his favor and he's in the three-horse win mix.
