Top pick: #7 (THROWACROSS) (5-1) - Lightly-raced, he finished fourth of eight here going 7-furlongs for twice this price April 22nd. It was his first back off a two month break and he's dropping in half while stretching out to a mile. He gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #9 (Cajun Hellraiser) (5-2) - The probable favorite, 5-year-old gelding just missed here at this level and distance April 17th. Speedy sort runs second back from a two month break and is an obvious win candidate. I almost made him the top pick.
3rd pick: #4 (Royal Account) (10-1) - Longshot has been competitive in five of his last six outings. Stalker tends to finish evenly, but against this group he can factor with just a bit of improvement.
4th pick: #5 (Medicineman'ssaint) (20-1) - He raced evenly at a big price March 22nd at the Fair Grounds at this trip facing tougher. However, he was never involved here in a follow up start sprinting April 9th. Could grab a share at a huge price as his connections send him a mile again.
