Top pick: #2 (SCARY TRIP) - Gelding raced evenly here April 3 at this tag in his first back off a nine month layoff. He should be much sharper tonight in his second back and is the choice for the win.
2nd pick: #1 (Fine Quality) - In excellent shape, veteran has good early speed and he draws the rail. Very tough opponent.
3rd pick: #5 (Leonardi) - He's raced evenly in all three local starts following a shift here from Michigan and a five month layoff. Capable, he'll need to do a bit better to knock off the top pair.
