Top pick: #3 (EXCESS LIQUIDTY) (2-1) - He races third back from a pair of layoffs and trainer Linda Rice will stretch him out to a mile and drop him a bit in price. He finished third last out to an uncoupled barn-mate and meets a weak field.
2nd pick: #4 (Bellardo) (7-2) - Speedy sort drops down to a new low after chasing and tiring last out to a horse that went wire-to-wire on March 21st. His early speed makes and the drop make him a serious win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Gallant Breeze) (201) - Colt by "Gone West" finished an even third on Feb. 21 at this tag in what was his first since debuting at Saratoga in late August. Claimed out of his latest, trainer Manny Gonzalez brings him back six weeks later and stretches him out to a mile. Price play.
4th pick: #8 (Like a Boss) (10-1) - Gelding comes off a second-place finish at this tag on Feb. 22. It was his first ever at this price and draws a nice outside post for this attempt.
