Top pick: #7 (HORATIO) (3-1) - He's the clear speed of those who have started and he runs today for the first time since finishing second at this level at Aqu. on March 27th. Working fine for his return and Junior Alvarado can get him home on top.
2nd pick: #1 (Joe Alan) (7-2) - Dangerous gelding has been competitive in both starts and runs this afternoon first off a Greg DiPrima claim. Speed/stalker has the rail and is working sharply for this attempt. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Pegasus T) (12-1) - Longshot drops down and trainer Chris Englehart will shorten him up in distance. Don't believe this gelding cared for the sloppy track last out and he gets the addition of blinkers (21%) for this assignment.
4th pick: #6 (Joe Mooch) (6-1) - Home-bred has been freshened up since March 16th and is working well locally for his return. He's raced evenly in his first three starts and finished third at this tag on Feb. 10.
