Top pick: #4 (MANDATE) - Nicely spotted this afternoon in his first try against winners. Much improved since blinkers went on two back and his maiden win on April 11th was done in "style." Freshened-up for the past five weeks he can make it two in a row today.
2nd pick: #3 (Seeyouatsergios) - Brings good early speed to a contest that doesn't have a lot of quality pace on paper. Claimed two back by Dom Galluscio, he tired facing tougher in the mud and will drop down today and in all probability race on a fast track.
3rd pick: #7 (Gold Prospect) - He finished a surprising second on April 11 in the mud first off a Joe Aquilino claim. Draws nicely in the gate for his style and if his last is repeatable he could win this.
