Top pick: #2 (BECKER'S GALAXY) (2-1) - The possible favorite, he's been competitive in three straight at or around this level. Stalker has been very consistent over the past 15 months (13-2-3-7) and this is his best distance 6-1-2-3. Gelding gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #4 (Tug Of War) (5-2) - Once a bit classier, speedy veteran is one of two entered with in this contest that have won on Aqueduct's main track in the past. In shape, has a fast recent work, and is a strong threat on the front end.
3rd pick: #5 (Fullfaithandcredit) (5-1) - Colt ships back from Philly Park where he tired badly on March 3rd when facing a bit tougher. Lightly raced 4-year-old did well last year 8-2-4-1 and two of his three lifetimes wins have come at this trip.
