Top pick: #8 (ALL ALEX) (4-1) - Well-bred colt has been freshened up since March 9th when he lost his rider going into the first turn at this level, traveling 9 furlongs at Gulfstream Park. He'd been sharp in his previous pair there and is training steadily for his return to action.
2nd pick: #4 (Denali Causeway) (3-1) - Colt by "Giant's Causeway" raced both wide and evenly when debuting at Gulfstream March 22nd. In the Pletcher barn (26% second-time out), 3-year-old has worked four times locally siince shipping here and looks set for a competitive effort.
3rd pick: #3 (Rap d'Oro) (7-2) - He comes off a career best when finishing second on the Aqu. inner-surface March 16th in his first off a trainer switch to Mike Hishion. Bred for the grass, this colt will be closing fast.
4th pick: #2 (Mr Jenney) (5-2) - Debuting son of "Medaglia d'Oro" cost $600K and has a dozen published drills showing as trainer Chris Clement (21% first out) gets him ready for his first public appearance.
