Premium Pick

Top pick: #6 (PLATINUM SANDY) (9-2) - Gelding runs third back from an 80 day freshening and second off a "Lupe" Preciado claim. He just failed last out at this level going 6 furlongs on April 1st and his connections shorten him up to an abbreviated sprint (5 furlongs). Like his chances.

2nd pick: #4 (College Bound) (2-1) - The probable favorite, he's been competitive in all three starts since dropping down to this tag and last out was beaten an neck going 7 furlongs on March 26th. He's cutting back today and should get a fast pace to rally into.

3rd pick: #1 (Miami Mako) (6-1) - Price play draws the shortest way home and drops down for this attempt. Not the same horse since coming back from a year's layoff in Jan., but at this level, and from this inside post he can factor.

4th pick: #3 (Ecstatic Cat) (7-2) - Speedy sort races first off a claim by owner/trainer Evan Lauro(18%) and he's run well in abbreviated sprints (4-0-3-0). In the mix.
