Top pick: #4 (WISEMAN'S BLUFF) - Lightly-raced gelding has shown improvement in his last pair breaking his maiden in Arkansas on March 27, then finishing a strong third here five weeks later. Clean break and he can win this.
2nd pick: #6 (Slick Talking) - Sharp maiden two back at Penn National was followed up by a strong effort at this level at Pimlico in his first vs. winners. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Talk to Nick) - Trainer Cody Autry shortens this colt up after a sold pace-setting try at Philly Park at this level going two-turns. Contends today.
