Top pick: #4 (MI HIJO) (3-1) - He finished second here facing tougher last out, is brought back quickly, and drops down to the price he was claimed for in early Dec. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #7 (Ten Items or Less) (9-2) - Lightly raced, he went gate-to-wire here over weaker On March 22, and is now back in shape following several layoffs. A win candidate right back.
3rd pick: #2 (Pepe) (5-1) - He was a sharp winner on Jan. 9th to clear the 2l condition, and has been freshened up since. Speedy & lightly raced, he's a threat right back.
4th pick: #3 (Jade Run) (5-1) - Runs off a four month break and a major trainer switch to Dave Jacobson (25% with new stock). Can factor if ready.
