Top pick: #6 (DEPUTY MAX) - Triple Crown nominee just failed at this level and distance at Santa Anita April 3 in the best effort of his six-race career. Wins this with a repeat of it.
2nd pick: #2 (Apriority) - Son of "Grand Slam" has finished second in his first pair both sprinting at Santa Anita. Stretches-out for the first time and he's a win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Isle of Prado) - "Legged-up" in a turf sprint in late March trainer Doug O'Neill sends him long and switches surfaces with him today. This is his "home track" and he's working sharply for this. Price play.
