Top pick: #6 (RIVETTO) (7-5) - The probable favorite, he just failed to hold on here at this tag and trip April 8th. Speed/stalker was racing first off a John Parisella claim and an 80-day freshening. He missed by a 1/2 length in his return to action and did not have a smooth start. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #2 (Charitable) (2-1) - Well bred 4-year-old was just under a length off of 'Rivetto' last out in his best overall since coming off a 6 1/2 month layoff Feb 11. Strong his best overall since coming off a 6 1/2 month layoff Feb 11. Strong finisher is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Ireland's Eye) (6-1) - He was claimed out of his maiden win Dec 11 by trainer Abby Adsit for $16K. He did not run well in a trio of starts following the barn change and has been on the sidelines since March 7th. His latest pair of works are very sharp and think he'll contend at a square price.
