Top pick: #4 (EASTER GLORY) (5-1) - Gelding races fresh off a Patty Farro re-claim, and she had this 5yo in fine form before losing him for one race. One run type has enough speed to stay within range early and win this late.
2nd pick: #6 (Ibdancingtoo) (8-5) - Golden Gate shipper has a new trainer (Keith Nations), and he's gone six for 16 here since the beginning of the year. Cal-bred has early speed, runs with blinkers on, and will be trying a conventional surface for the first time.
3rd pick: #1 (Tape It) (8-1) - Longshot moves to the rail after finishing third last out from a tough post (ninth of 11). It's good to see him stringing starts together following several layoffs, and he may grab a share at a square price.
4th pick: #5 (Will He Amaze) (4-1) - His lack of any early speed is a concern, and he's also broken poorly in four straight starts. Can factor despite those negatives, especially if he breaks with his field.
