Top pick: #2 (LUCKIEST MAN) - Coly by "Grand Slam" finished second at this level on Feb. 24 at Santa Anita in his first start back off a nine month layoff then raced evenly in his latest in a tough optional-claimer, a race where he had some traffic issues. Working fast for this and the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (Unionize) - Talented, but lightly-raced colt by "Dixie Union" tries winners and the turf both for the first time. Yet to run a bad race in a five-start career, if he takes to the grass he'd be a strong win candidate.
