Top pick: #8 (E Z EDDIE) (3-1) - Speed/stalker finished a pace-setting second on March 16. He regressed in his follow up start as a very heavy favorite. Colt meets a week field and can take this with his best.
2nd pick: #2 (Weevil Knievel) (8-1) - Colt had some traffic issues at the break when debuting here March 16. He ran evenly one in stride and was 3 1/2 back of 'E Z Eddie" at the finish. In a winning barn (Keith Nations) and can factor with an alert beginning.
3rd pick: #9 (Kentucky Moonshine) (8-1) - He improved in his second start while 5-lengths back of 'Eddie" and 1 1/2 behind 'Weevil.' He moves out in the gate, and this lightly raced gelding can be in this at a big price.
4th pick: #4 (Grandpa's King) (9-2) - Florida ships in from Laurel where he finished second at this tag March 14 racing on a sloppy surface. It was his first race in almost two months and a career best. Must be left in the mix.
