Top pick: #1 (FALLING KNIFE) - Working solidly for a top barn (Tom Amoss) he raced this gelding well over his head on April 17 at Keeneland, his first start since Derby Day here last May. Drops down off the much needed return run and he draws the rail. The top pick.
2nd pick: #6 (Luv Gov) - The field's most experienced runner won out of condition last out at Oaklawn and comes back at the same tag today. Has the ability to "run all day" and he and the top choice are the only entrants to have won here previously.
