Top pick: #6 (POR QUE) - Veteran is one of two horses coming off easy wins and career best "figures". This gelding has gone (4-3-1-0) since being claimed by trainer Steve Asmussen at Oaklawn Park for $5000 on Feb. 4. He draws a nice outside post at this 6.5 furlong trip and his speed/stalking style fits the field.
2nd pick: #4 (Scored) - The "other" runner coming off a career topper and he did so on the Turfway Park "poly" course om March 30th. 7-year-old gelding has plenty of early speed and handles real dirt just fine. In the high-percentage barn of Joe Woodard and this runner should be involved from start to finish.
