Top pick: #6 (STAR WALK) (3-1) - Gelding races second off a Patty Farro claim and was beaten 1 1/2 lengths facing $10K foes April 23rd in his first for the new barn. Speed/stalker is brough back quickly for this and Farro drops him down to the purchase price ($7,500).
2nd pick: #3 (Tough All Day) (2-1) - New York shipper from the Zito barn has been freshened up since March 2nd and is training nicely at Belmont for his return. Colt finished second here as a maiden in his only previous local start and is a strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Speight Me) (9-2) - Well-bred 4-year-old broke his maiden here March 9th, then ran fourth of 10, beaten 3 1/2 lengths going 7 furlongs at this level on April 2nd in his first facing winners. Barn cuts him back in distance and speed/stalker breaks from the rail.
4th pick: #5 (Power Shall Tell) (6-1) - Pa.-bred was an impressive maiden winner here on April 6th, then raced evenly after having some early traffic issues in the same April 23rd contest that "Star Walk" exits. Can factor at a square price.
