Top pick: #6 (OLTRE' ORO) (3-1) - Lightly-raced colt has gone 3-1-2-0 to date, has fine early speed, and last out finished second when going two-turns on the inner-surface at this level. That earned him this field's highest recent "figure" and he should love this one-turn mile.
2nd pick: #8 (Eye Luv Lulu) (4-1) - Gelding stretches out to a mile and hets a positive rider change to Cornelio Velasquez. Home-bred has had trouble at the start in three straight and last out rallied to finish second at this level sprinting on March 14th.
3rd pick: #7 (Life in Shambles) (4-1) - Grey gelding ships from Gulfstream where he broke his maiden for a $50K tag Feb. 28 when racing at this "flat" mile. In a winning barn (Chris Clement) and this 3-year-old by "Broken Vow" is in the mix.
4th pick: #4 (Peter Island) (2-1) - "Peter" broke slowly but rallied strongly into a quick pace to win his debut at Gulfstream on March 1st. Nice effort and this home-bred by "Tapit" has unlimited potential at this point. Can impact, but will probably be over-bet.
