Top pick: #1 (MISH MOSH) (5-2) - Hard hitter enters off an easy win here on the grass at this trip May 2. Claimed that afternoon by Michelle Nevin for $25K, she moves him up in class for this attempt. Gelding has won at this higher level in the past and professional stalker breaks from the rail. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #7 (Great Attack) (7-2) - Veteran chased and finished well when checking in fourth of seven, beaten two lengths racing here at this tag going 7-furlongs May 10. It was his first back off a two-month freshening and trainer Dave Jacobson is shortening him up a furlong. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Drago's Best) (6-1) - Shipper has won over $300K during a 27-start career and ships from Pimlico where he was beaten a length going 5-furlongs on the grass May 7. Stalker always brings his best and can factor at a square price in his local debut.
4th pick: #4 (Street Shark) (10-1) - He's been freshened up since the early spring when he was tiring on the dirt facing tougher. 5-year-old is dropping in class and has won one of two starts in the past on the grass.
