Top pick: #3 (BLACK CORONAS) (2-1) - Lightly-raced daughter of 'Curlin' has been freshened up by Rudy Rodriguez since Feb 21. Claimed by him for $50K Dec 14, she finished an even third at Philly Park last out facing special weight foes. Working well for her return, barn drops her way down in class and far under what she was claimed for. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Ferzetti) (5-1) - She's racing third back off a 2 1/2 month layoff for the Contessa barn. Filly finished second at this level in her return race at Aqueduct April 2nd, then checked in an event fourth April 19th at the same tag. She stumbled at the start last out and had to attempt a wide rally. Working well for this and she's breaking from the rail.
3rd pick: #6 (Letsgotovegas) (4-1) - Daughter of 'Indian Charlie' set a pressured pace before weakening to finish third at this tag and trip at Aqueduct April 2nd. Four-year-old had to be sent hard from an inside post that afternoon and she's moving out in the gate for this attempt.
4th pick: #7 (Believeinfaith) (6-1) - Un-raced since late Dec. of 2013, she was competitive in three of four starts that year facing tougher. Working steadily for her return, trainer Jen Antonucci drops her to a new low and adds blinkers. A threat if ready.
