Top pick: #5 (REDEFINED) - Loves the surface (19-10-5-1) and the distance (11-6-5). Working fine for another campaign, this Tony Dutrow-trained veteran returns from a mid-October layoff, but has raced fine off of breaks in the past. Nicely spotted and the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #6 (Just Playin Around) - Very sharp since last fall, gelding won a mile race at Gulfstream April 3 and has been working at Monmouth for his return. Cuts-back in distance and has a sold shot from just off the top.
3rd pick: #2 (Be Bullish) - New York-bred tries hard every time he runs and likes to get involved in a good fight on the lead. Has the inside and last fall he finished a distant second to the top pick at this level and distance.
