Top pick: #4 (FROSTED) (3-1) - Promising colt ships up from Gulfstream where he was competitive without winning in the 'Holy Bull' on Jan 24 and the 'Fountain of Youth' Feb 21. Speed/stalker is working fast for this and is the only one entered who has won on Aqueduct's main track in the past. Gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #6 (Daredevil) (2-1) - Promising colt from the Pletcher barn stretches out in distance in his second start as a 3-year-old. Son of 'More Than Ready' finished second going 7-furlongs at Gulfstream's 'Swale' stakes on March 7th. it was his first in just over four months and he's set for a big effort. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (El Kabeir) (3-1) - The type that can run all day, he's gone 8-4-2-1 so far with his only loss coming when beaten handily by 'Daredevil' in early Oct. at Belmont in the 'Champagne' stakes. In shape, has a flexible style, and is working fast. Must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #1 (Tiz Shea D) (10-1) - Very lightly raced, he rallied to finish second to 'Kabeir' in the Gotham stakes (G3) on March 7. Only his second career start, he has the rail and is working sharply. Can factor with some improvement.
