Top pick: #2 (MAGNIFICENT BLEND) - Grey gelding has improved his game since a claim by Bob Diodoro in Feb at Golden gate and last out he rallied to finish second here at this price and distance. Effort was his first on this surface and he didn't break sharply that day. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (Awesome Indy) - He was an impressive maiden winner here April 23rd in a small stakes limited to non-winners. He obviously has talent and gets a bit of a class test this afternoon in his first facing winners.
3rd pick: #3 (Master Chef) - Speed/stalker finished a close-up third in a small stakes here April 23rd and he's clearly become a much better runner since joining the barn of Jerry Hollendorfer. Working fast for this and a win candidate.
