Top pick: #2 (IN JEOPARDY) - He's the main speed and trainer Randy Morse will drop him into a claimer for the first time. Son of "Johannesburg" runs second back off a 2 1/2 month break and he breaks near the rail. Tough on the front end.
2nd pick: #4 (Manly) - Price-play ships up from Tampa Bay Downs where he was competitive last out facing special weights in a two-turn grass contest. Has a new trainer (Steve Margolis 21% with new arrivals) and colt by "Seeking the Gold" is working fast on this surface. Drops down, goes grass to dirt, and shortens-up in distance.
3rd pick: #6 (Barefoot Bandit) - Fair Grounds shipper missed by a nose there March 25th racing for $25K and has a trio of local drills in April. Capable barn moves him up a bit in price and a repeat of his last "figure" makes him dangerous.
