Top pick: #10 (THUNDER CHIEF) (5-2) - Lightly-raced son of 'Thunder Gulch' drops in class after never being involved in his New York debut Jan 2. He had a bad stumble at the start that day from an outside post in his first off a Jacobson claim at Del Mar in late Nov. Three-year-old meets a weak field and can beat these with an alert getaway.
2nd pick: #1 (Bold Over) (5-1) - Son of 'Posse' is the field's only first-time starter. He has the rail, hails from a good barn (Kelly Breen), and home bred had a bullet half-mile gate breeze at Belmont April 8th. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (El Viejo Verde) (6-1) - He ships back from Maryland where he finished a pace-setting third at Laurel March 14th. He runs as a new gelding and will take them as far as he can.
4th pick: #2 (Suspicious Mind) (6-1) - Colt tired badly in a grass race at Tampa Bay Downs March 15th. It was his first since Dec 4 and 4-year-old runs off a trainer change to Steve Asmussen (a 22% winning angle). Stalker is going turf to dirt, shortening up in distance, and dropping in class.
