Top pick: #5 (FITZGERALD) (3-1) - Speedy gelding has been freshened up since April 4 when he tired to run 3rd after chasing the pace. He draws outside of the other speed and that should lead to a comfortable stalking trip. Gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #3 (Tiz the Moment) (2-1) - Colt has been idle since finishing a close up 3rd at this level and distance Feb 7 at Aqueduct. Well backed that day, his trainer (Jay Servis) is having a strong meet (8 for 26). Win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Knuckle Curve) (3-1) - 4yo finished 3rd here following a 'stumbling' start April 12. It was his first since debuting June 1 of 2014 at Santa Anita. The 'figure' earned was high and he's working well for this attempt. Has the rail and completes the 3-horse win mix.
