Top pick: #5 (MACANDALES) (3-1) - Stalker moves up just a bit after missing by a nose here for a $15K tag April 10th. Gelding was racing off a seven week break and he draws outside of the speed types.
2nd pick: #4 (Pioneer's Era) (8-5) - The morning line favorite, he's lightly raced and will be dropping into a claimer for the first time. Latest effort saw him run evenly while finishing fourth when facing tougher April 25th and the drop makes him a serious win threat.
3rd pick: #1 (Hang On) (6-1) - Price play is nicely bred and has been freshened up since an easy and visually impressive maiden win at Delta Downs on March 8th. Working well on the local training track and he has a shot at square odds.
4th pick: #2 (Screened Out) (12-1) - Texas invader has early speed and has gone 9-1-3-2 racing on the dirt. Capable of running a sub :45 half-mile and that makes him a factor at long odds.
