Top pick: #1 (FOREST MEADOW) (5-1) - He chased and held gamely to finish a close up 3rd on March 19 racing at this level on a sloppy surface. Race was his first back off almost a two month break and trainer Scott Lake brings him back on short notice.
2nd pick: #2 (Crockefeller) (7-2) - Very speedy veteran drops a bit after setting/pressing a fast pace and tiring late on March 10th racing for a $16K tag. Gelding is themain speed in this small field and will be tough if he clears early without a struggle.
3rd pick: #5 (True Heaven) (4-1) - He's rounding into form since returning from a 2 1/2 month layoff on Jan 21st and last out rallied to finish 3rd facing weaker. Veteran has some back class, and the faster the pace, the better his prospects.
4th pick: #3 (Green Bananas) (9-2) - His lack of speed is apparent, but he usually puts in a late charge and could grab a small slice of this with one of his better efforts.
