Top pick: #6 (GEMINI GOLD) (9-2) - Well backed when debuting at the Fair Grounds March 28th, he raced very wide while checking in 4th of 10, beaten 15-lengths. Contest was dominated by the top two finishers and this colt doesn't meet any monster types this evening. Has a shot at a square price.
2nd pick: #12 (Cone of Silence) (9-2) - Son of 'Bellamy Road' cost $80,000 and appears to be coming around. He's taken money in all four starts and was beaten a length here at this level and distance as the favorite April 11th. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Direct Current) (8-1) - Un-raced since Aug. 30, he finished 4th of 12, beaten two lengths when debuting here at this level. In a very good small barn (Victor Arcenaux), gelding by the reliable 'Gold Tribute' is a win threat at long odds if ready
4th pick: #7 (Drewsizzle) (12-1) - Grey gelding ran evenly at the Fair Grounds March 28th. Three-year-old had finished second in his previous start at Delta Downs for a $20K tag. Fits if he can repeat the figure earned that evening.
