Top pick: #4 (COST AFFECTIVE) (7-2) - He appears to be coming around and is taking a big drop in class. Five-year-old raced both wide and evenly for a $50K tag at Aqueduct April 18. He has a class edge on this bunch and has run well here in the past 4-1-1-0.
2nd pick: #10 (Money Machine) (10-1) - Stretch runner has been freshened up since March 14. He closed strongly that afternoon to finish second on Aqueduct's inner surface for a $12.5K tag. Dangerous if ready.
3rd pick: #11 (Slan Abhaile) (4-1) - He's taking the same big drop as 'Cost Affective.' Speedy sort is racing third back from a two month layoff and has won at this distance in the past.
4th pick: #1 (Pecorino) (7-2) - Lightly-raced and well bred, he's been on the sidelines since Oct 13. Four-year-old by 'Afleet Alex' has a good record on dirt 7-2-3-2 and is returning in a career soft spot. Very dangerous if ready.
5th pick: #2 (Qui C'est Moi) (10-1) - Colt enters in good shape and has won two of his last four. Stalker was an easy winner April 18 at Aqueduct and is trying this 3l condition for the first time. Can grab a share at a big price.
