Top pick: #5 (FEAR) (9-2) - He chased and tired when facing tougher on the grass last Saturday. It was a useful effort and was his first start since March 22nd. Trainer Michelle Nevin brings him back quickly, drops him to a new lows, and switches him from turf to dirt. Can take this at a square price.
2nd pick: #7 (Ghost Ship) (2-1) - The morning line favorite, he's another dropping in class and this colt will be shortening up in distance. He has some early speed and trainer Rick Violette Jr. adds blinkers.
3rd pick: #4 (Suspicious Mind) (5-2) - Colt enters off a career best on April 15th. One of two 4-year-olds facing sophomore rivals, he rallied to miss by a 'neck' racing at this level last out going 6-furlongs. Four-year-olds by 'Rockport Harbor' has worked twice since and must be left in the three-horse win mix.
4th pick: #1 (Thirty Percent) (8-1) - Longshot raced both wide and evenly while checking in fourth at Aqueduct at this level April 15th. A career best overall, this home bred breaks from the rail and may grab a share at a big price.
