Top pick: #5 (MOONLITE ENCOUNTER) (7-2) - Don't normally endorse maidens with this many starts (14-0-2-0), but he's clearly improving and has been competitive in four straight starts here at this tag. He ran fourth in his latest, and the "figure" earned marked a career best.
2nd pick: #7 (Ronto's Code) (8-5) - The probable favorite, speedy grey gelding has tired in the final furlong in the majority of his starts, and has finished close up in both local appearances since coming from Florida. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Got the Moves) (8-1) - Homs-bred has shown absolutely nothing in all five outings, but will be racing today off a seven week freshening and a major trainer switch to the leading man here (Dave Jacobson). That alone makes him a threat.
4th pick: #6 (Keyaly) (8-1) - No speed type is making start #52 and has gone 20-0-2-5 on this surface. Freshened up since Jan. 16th, home-bred had a nice half-mile breeze at Belmont on March 1. May grab a share.
