Top pick: #1 (VICAR OF LA) - Away since February until a recent comeback race, Louisiana-bred showed a lot of ability here last winter before being injured. Return run was excellent and he can be expected to improve enough today to win this.
2nd pick: #6 (Triple Points Day) - Makes his second start for the dangerous Cody Autry barn. Ran evenly last out and may have needed the effort. Move forward off that one makes him a win threat.
