Top pick: #1 (DAVID ROCKS) (8-5) - He returns from almost a seven week break a new gelding and dropping in class. Three-year-old has early speed, breaks from the rail, and meets a weak-looking group. Can take this with his best.
2nd pick: #4 (Fit to Keep) (5-1) - Lightly-raced, he hasn't seen action since Dec 6. Claimed that day by Gary Sciacca for $25K, he returns him at that same price tag. Well backed in all three starts for the previous barn and this 3-year-old by 'Posse' had a sharp half-mile work April 7th at Belmont Park.
3rd pick: #5 (Can'tcatchjack) (6-1) - He's back in with fellow New York breds after tiring to finish a distant third when facing $20K open company March 22nd. That was his first race in two months and he should move forward off of it.
4th pick: #8 (Thirty Percent) (15-1) - Home bred raced evenly on a muddy track after breaking from the 12-post racing at this level and distance March 14th. He's worked since, is making back-to-back starts for the first time, and it's Silvera off and Cornelio Velasquez on.
