Top pick: #5 (SIX CLICKS) - Triple Crown nominee finished 2nd in his debut last fall and needed two come-back starts at Gulfstream to break his maiden. That win came in Florida at this distance March 27th when trainer Tom Albertrani added blinkers for the first time. He has four local drills since shipping north including a "bullet" on this surface April 22nd. Stalker is the horse to beat in his first vs. winners.
2nd pick: #4 (Afleet Express) - Has the talent but he's had problems at the start in all three of his races. Son of "Afleet Alex" broke his maiden at Aqueduct when debuting Nov.6th, then raced well at Gulfstream in a pair at this level earlier this year. Working fast and a win candidate.
