Top pick: #4 (SNAKE PIT) (6-5) - The probable favorite, he's been freshened up since Feb. 8th when he missed by a 'neck' on Aqueduct's inner-surface facing much tougher. Strong finisher drops in class, meets a weak field, and there's plenty of potential pace signed up to set up his stretch charge.
2nd pick: #6 (Grandpa Len) (5-1) - Speedy sort stretches out in distance in his first off a Michelle Nevin claim (a 27% winning angle). He's been competitive in six of his last seven starts, and he looks like the main danger.
3rd pick: #1 (Chief Energy) (4-1) - He's dropping in class and stretching out in only his third start since coming off a 8 1/2 month layoff Jan. 17th. Stalker raced evenly last out going 7-furlongs for a $40K tag April 25. Can factor with his best.
