Top pick: #2 (BLUEGRASS DREAMER) - The probable favorite, gelding won here at this price and distance Oct. 11 to clear the 2l condition and after 11 starts last year trainer Doug Shanyfelt sent him in for five month rest. 4-year-old by "Bluegrass Cat" has finished second in two of three return appearances, the latest comin at this mile distance April 17th. Gets a slight edge ofer the rail horse.
2nd pick: #1 (Prometheus) - He's returned to form following a pair of layoffs and last out was beaten a neck at this level and distance April 20th. Effort was his first at this mile trip in a year and gelding is one-for-two on "off" going. Strong challenger.
3rd pick: #4 (Mr. Classic Spirit) - Both lifetime wins have come on "muddy" surface, the latest of which was an easy win here at this distance a month ago. Gelding is (4-2-1-1) since shipping here from Louisiana in January and he's in the three-horse win mix.
