Top pick: #6 (HANKY DOODLE) (2-1) - He fell after 'clipping heels' here at this level March 31st. Apparently uninjured, trainer Phil Aristone brings him back quickly. Stretch runner would love a fast and/or contested pace to develop.
2nd pick: #5 (Gray Not Bay) (4-1) - Pa. bred gelding has good early speed and catches a field without much apparent pace. In this small field he has a shot at taking them wire-to-wire.
3rd pick: #3 (Answer Me This) (6-1) - He's racing third back off a 2 1/2 month layoff and showed some early speed last out. Fits with his best, but at this point, the top two picks are more likely to win this.
