Top pick: #1a (BLACK TIDE) (5-2) - He enters off a career best when he rallied to finish second here at this level and distance April 10th. It came in his third start back off a 3 1/2 month layoff and was his first ever in a claimer. Gets a slight edge in a competitive contest.

2nd pick: #3 (Hundred Percent) (5-1) - Home bred has stalking ability and is moving up in class following a second place finish for a $25K tag March 14th. It was his best to date and came in his second off almost a three month layoff.

3rd pick: #2 (Rich Dalone) (3-1) - 'Rich' has been competitive in all but one of his six starts. Speed/stalker has the rail and last out finished third here at this level in the mud going 5.5-furlongs. Colt should be involved from start-to-finish.

4th pick: #7 (Stone Crab) (7-2) - Lightly-raced home bred rallied to finish third when debuting at this level Dec 13. Sent to the sidelines at that point, he ran both wide and evenly facing tougher in his return March 28th. Trainer Rudy Rodriguez drops him down, removes his blinkers, and it's Beato off and Irad Ortiz Jr. back on.
