Top pick: #5 (MALAGA COVE) - He was probably "Best" last out as he got caught without a path in mid-stretch just when it looked like he had plenty of run. Son of "Thunder Gulch" loved the stretch-out in distance and home-bred is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #7 (Full Strength) - No-speed type is well-bred and very lightly raced. Five-year-old gelding by "Strong Hope" rallied to finish fourth April 10th at Santa Anita in his first race in almost a year and trainer Carla Gaine's main-rider (Raf Bejarano) gets aboard today.
3rd pick: #6 (Won't Stop Dancin) - He has a bit of speed, is lightly raced, and trainer Lennie Powell will stretch him out around two-turns this evening. Can factor from start-to-finish at a nice price.
