Top pick: #2 (B'S LUCKY STRIKE) - He had enough trouble at the start last out to cost him any chance. In five straight before that, he was competitive in each while racing wide every time. Draws a good post today and trainer Jorge Periban will add blinkers. Gets the call in a tough race.
2nd pick: #4 (Vulcan) - Ships down from Golden Gate where he finished second in a couple of high-end starter-allowances and is working sharply for his first start since March 18th. Contends in this spot.
3rd pick: #6 (The Hunt is On) - The probable favorite has finished close-up in two of three tries at this price and will race on a "poly" surface for the first time since late Jan. One-run type holds no real advantage and will be over-bet.
