Top pick: #7 (ROCKET TRAIN) - Away slowly here on May 3rd, he was rushed up along the inside and held gamely during the stretch run to miss by a length. Claimed that day by Bob Diodoro for $20K, he brings him back in 15 days with a rise in price and a stretch-out in distance. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #4 (Tap It In) - Lightly-raced grey gelding by "Tapit" raced evenly here sprinting for a $40K tag April 26th, his first start in 13 months. Trainer Ron Ellis who has been a fine three month "roll" drops him down a bit and stretches him out. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (Soi Phet) - He has some tactical speed to utilize and last out he was wide the entire trip after breaking from an outside post. Breaks near the inside today and he's a factor at a square price.
