Top pick: #4 (LARRY BOY) (4-1) - Very lightly-raced, he chased and weakened to finish fourth here going a mile on April 3rd. Race was his first since Feb 14 and trainer Dave Jacobson, brings him back quickly, moves him up a bit, and shortens this colt up in distance. The leading trainer has him making back-to-back starts for the first time and I like his chances.
2nd pick: #3 (Divine Storm) (2-1) - Speedy colt had no chance after stumbling badly on the inner-surface March 22nd. Three-year-old had tired facing tougher in his local debut Feb 5. Trainer Ed Kenneally has Jose Ortiz back aboard and this son of 'Divine Park' is a strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Feverish Loot) (8-1) - Gelding ran evenly while finishing 6th of 10, beaten almost 11-lengths in the same last race as 'Larry Boy.' Claimed that afternoon by Randi Persaud, he brings him back quickly, moves him up a bit, and cuts him back to 6-furlongs.
4th pick: #5 (Street Prince) (5-2) - Away for 14-months, he returns racing in a claimer for the first time. Five-year-old by 'Street Sense' has efforts in the past that would win this if repeatable. Now with a low-percentage outfit, the layoff is a long one to overcome.
