Top pick: #5 (BELLY OF THE WHALE) (5-2) - Colt rallied to finish second at Aqueduct on April 25th in his first since a near miss at Keeneland in early October. Trainer Chris Clement has him making back-to-back starts for the first time and Peachtree home-bred gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #3 (Patent) (8-1) - Price play has been on the sidelines since a troubled trip in a G3 stakes at Gulfstream March 1st. Darley home-bred by "A.P. Indy" had been sharp in three straight prior to that and has a shot at a square price.
3rd pick: #6 (Mansion House) (3-1) - Irish import is well-bred, lightly raced, and is running for the first time since late October. Son of "Galileo" rallied to finish third here that day in a $100K stakes and spent the past winter training steadily at Payson Park. In the mix.
4th pick: #2 (Canzoni) (4-1) - Grey son of "Unbridled's Song" has been sharp in both grass starts and is training nicely for his first start since late March at Gulfstream. In the Pletcher barn and 3-year-old must be left in the mix.
