Top pick: #4 (COOL AND QUIET) (6-5) - Gelding showed sharp early speed before weakening here at this level when debuting on Dec 15. Trainer Charlie Baker has worked him twice since, including a very fast half-mile at Belmont 5 days ago. Barn is doing good things at this meet and Junior Alvarado gets aboard today.
2nd pick: #1 (I'm Stoked) (7-2) - Debuting home-bred by "Hook and Ladder" has some fine works on view and trainer Mike Hushion (27% first out) worked him a half-dozen times in the past 5 weeks.
3rd pick: #6 (Saturday Appeal) (3-1) - The fields most experience runner has been competitivr in three of his six starts and two back ran 2nd at this level. He showed little in his latest, but it was around two-turns and he's cutting back to a sprint for this assignment.
