Top pick: #3 (LUCKY AND COOL) (5-1) - Colt is one of two first-time starters entered by trainer Dom Galluscio and the pair race uncoupled. Son of "Songandaprayer" apparently defeated his barn-mate by 5 lengths in a half-mile Belmont breeze on March 23rd and the work was very fast.
2nd pick: #2 (One Red Cat) (8-1) - Debuting home-bred hails from the powerful barn of Chris Englehart and colt has a near bullet half-mile gate breeze at Belmont on March 14th. Price play.
3rd pick: #5 (Hooked Forever) (8-5) - The probable favorite, colt chased and tired last out facing special weights, but had finished second and third in his previous pair when racing for a $50K tag. He drops down to a new low in price and is an obvious win candidate.
4th pick: #8 (Joe Alan) (9-2) - Gelding did well to finish fourth after an awkward start here when debuting on March 3rd. He's worked three times since and trainer Nick Zito is always better second-time out.
