Top pick: #12 (SNEAKY FREUD) (3-1) - He may have been best last out when he rallied to finish second at this level and distance at Aqu. on April 6th. He stumble badly at the break annd was forced to rally while widest turning for home. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (A Better Tomorrow) (5-2) - Colt finished a strong third going a mile at Oaklawn on Jan. 26 when facing "open" special-weight company and has been training well since. In a winning barn (Mike Maker) and he moves him to the grass and has him face fellow New York-breds, both for the first time. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (With Exultation) (5-1) - Debuting gelding is by top grass sire "Kitten's Joy" and is in a fine first out barn (Chris Clement 20%). Can factor if ready.
4th pick: #9 (My Teddy Bear) (12-1) - He comes off a career best when he finished fourth on April 6th, 2 lengths back of "Sneaky." The race was his first ever on the grass and he could factor at a big price with a bit more improvement.
5th pick: #10 (Private Irving A) (20-1) - He also comes of a career best when he finished a pace-setting third on April 10th in his first on the grass. Lightly raced, in a capable barn, and has room for upside.
