Top pick: #1 (FINANCIAL MODELING) (2-1) - Nicely bred colt has been on the shelf since early May of 2014. He was bet in both starts and ran evenly in each. Son of 'Street Sense' has been in steady training at Palm Meadows in Florida and looks well prepared for his return by trainer Chad Brown (28% off of long layoffs).
2nd pick: #6 (Maxwell's Hammer) (3-1) - He has a recency advantage on the top pick and is the in shape speed. Gelding by 'Rock Hard Ten' has finished second in five of six starts at Philly Park with three of those at or around this distance. A strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Eye of the Moon) (4-1) - Gelding by 'Malibu Moon' moves back up in class after finishing third of nine, beaten just over a length racing for a $50K tag at Keeneland at this trip April 12th. In shape, and 4-year-old must be left in the three-horse mix.
