Top pick: #2 (RAVALO) - Interesting that this well-traveled sprinter (26-12-5-4) has never raced on this surface. Stalker should get a good pace set-up in front of him and Johnny V., who has won on his before is back aboard.
2nd pick: #3 (Songster) - Has a ton of back class and brings the best early speed if ready off another layoff (almost four months). Two for two on this course and if he clears early he could be tough.
3rd pick: #5 (Lucky Island) - He's tailed off the past year and will be coming back from yet another layoff. Major stakes winner is working sharply for his first race since March 7 and he's two for three on this surface.
