Top pick: #2 (WATERFORD BAY) - Races 2nd off a Mike Pino claim from the Pletcher barn and son of "Cuvee" also goes off a two month layoff. He's shown excellent speed in his first pair and is working nicely for his return. Can win this at a square price.
2nd pick: #6 (Cerrador) - The likely favorite just missed here at this price and distance May 5th and that marked the 3rd time in nine stsrts that he rteached the exacta. Speed/stalker in an obvious win threat.
3rd pick: #4 (Salsorice) - Races off a long layoff for the Stidham barn (24% with long range vacations) and with blinkers added for this. The works are encouraging and he could run well at a big price.
