Top pick: #5 (JOKING) (5-2) - Consistent sort has gone 12-2-2-4 on the dirt and broke his maiden on this surface in his only previous local appearance. Nicely spotted today, 5-year-old by "Distorted Humor" comes off a near miss at Aqu. April 5th and gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #4 (Make a Fortune) (5-2) - One of two entered by trainer Dave Jacobson and the pair race uncoupled. Speed/stalker runs off a reclaim by Jacobson and a subsequent seven week freshening. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Patriotic Duty) (6-1) - In shape, he has more early speed than most, but is moving way up in price. Can grab a share but needs to do better than anything more than a small slice.
