Top pick: #4 (BELLHOUSE) - Gelding goes turf to dirt for his 2nd start back following a 7 week layoff. His best races have come on the main-track and he can win this from just off the lead.
2nd pick: #1 (Colonialism) - The probable favorite runs for the first time since last spring at Keeneland where he finished 2nd on the synthetic surface there April 8th. Training fast on the local dirt and trainer Bill Mott reaches out to Dominguez. Big factor today.
3rd pick: #6 (Ritual) - Another going turf to dirt and this regally-bred colt draws a nice post in this small field. He would love some type of fast/contested pace to help his style out.
