Top pick: #1a (SINCITYEDDIE) (7-2) - Gelding by "Freud" is one of three entered by trainer Dom Galluscio, with this runner coupled with No. 1 "Midnight Monarch," and he has different jockeys listed on both. He had a bit of a tough trip here 13 days ago racing at this level. Race was his first in seven weeks and he can take this on the quick turnaround.
2nd pick: #8 (Cameron Canyon) (5-1) - He's another of the Galluscio runners and races as a separate betting interest. Colt finished an even fourth in his latest and one-run type should get a fast/and or contested pace to rally into.
3rd pick: #1 (Midnight Monarch) (7-2) - Second time starter is part on an entry with No. 1a "Sincityeddie" and has been freshened up since a troubled debut facing tougher here on Jan. 18. Blinkers are added along with a big drop in claiming price.
4th pick: #5 (Woburn) (4-1) - He enters off a career best when he finished second here at this level on March 9th. Solid effort came with blinkers back on after four races without the "hood" and a repeat of it makes him a threat.
5th pick: #3 (Say Lancelot) (15-1) - Not a win candidate, but this late-running type can grab a minor award at a big price as many will be "spent" here turning for home.
