Top pick: #8 (ADIRONDACK POSSE) (7-2) - Colt ships up from Gulfstream Park where he rallied to finish second facing 'open' company March 21st. It was his first since debuting at Belmont in early Sept. and any improvement today will allow this son of 'Posse' to get his maiden win.
2nd pick: #7 (Apollo Eleven) (6-1) - Colt has good early speed and is trying the grass for the first time. He's taken money in all four starts and this son of 'Medaglia d'Oro' is bred to enjoy the turf. Dangerous at a square price.
3rd pick: #11 (Warrior Kitten) (3-1) - Ramsey home bred is one of three who are debuting in this spot. Colt by 'Kitten's Joy' spent the winter training at Palm Meadows in Florida and trainer Mike Maker wins at a 24% rate first out.
4th pick: #6 (Raffies Bay) (15-1) - On the sidelines since early August, he has a new trainer (former jockey Robbie Davis) and has been working steadily since early March. Capable of getting a share at long odds if ready.
5th pick: #10 (Dr Keough) (8-1) - Un-raced since early Nov., son of 'Kitten's Joy' has a new trainer (Tom Morley) and a nice 5-furlong work at Belmont April 18th. His outside post is of no help.
