Top pick: #1 (MYTH MASTER) (4-1) - Speedy gelding set a pressured pace and held gamely to finish third here at this level and distance March 23. It was his first since Dec. 17th, a positive effort, and he breaks from the rail.
2nd pick: #3 (Park Avenue Appeal) (5-2) - On the sidelines since Feb. 9th, he rallied to finish fourth that afternoon after being 'bumped' heavily at the start. Consistent sort moves up in class and is a strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Polished Degree) (8-1) - Speed/stalker is from the same barn (Juan Guerrero) as 'Park Avenue Appeal,' and the pair race uncoupled. Freshened up since Feb. 23rd, he's taking a big drop, and is at his favorite distance (6-1-2-2). Must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #4 (Cry From the Heart.) (8-1) - He ships in from Oaklawn Park and runs off a trainer change to Lisa Guerrero (20% with new arrivals). All of his success has been going longer distances, and believe a small slice with a late rally is his ceiling.
