Top pick: #6 (TAKE CHARGE INDY) (4-1) - He's always been highly thought of and has faced "Graded" stakes company in 9 of his 11 starts. Speed/stalker enters this off a pace-setting second-place finish in the "Skip Away" (G3) at Gulfstream on March 30th, and he's since come back with a pair of sharp local works.
2nd pick: #8 (Bourbon Courage) (4-1) - Since winning a pair of starts early in 2012, this hard hitter has faced nothing but "graded" stakes performers and was an easy winner of the rich "Super Derby" (G2) at Louisiana Downs last Sept. He's gone (4-0-2-2) since then and has exchanged decisions with "Indy." Win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Macho Macho) (5-1) - Lightly raced, he won the rich "West Virginia Derby" (G2) in early August and in his 2013 debut he finished a "troubled" fourth in the (G2) New Orleans Hdcp., just a 1/2 length back of "Bourbon." In the mix, and at a square price.
4th pick: #9 (Cyber Secret) (7-2) - He's won four in a row, all at Oaklawn Park, the last pair being the (G3) "Razorback" and the Oaklawn Park Hdcp. (G2). Needs to prove that his Arkansas form is legitimate.
