Top pick: #8 (SMART OWNER) (5-2) - Gelding makes his return off almost a 6 month break and trainer Late DeMasi will drop him to a new low this afternoon. Working fines and he showed some early speed facing tougher in 2012.
2nd pick: #4 (Redhotlotion) (3-1) - The probable favorite, he comes off a pace-setting 2nd place finish here at this tag & trip on March 26. He's gone (5-0-2-3) since being claimed by "Lupe" Guerrero in late Nov and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #8 (Elusive Alex) (10-1) - Colt raced wide while chasing the pace before weakening when debuting here on Feb 16. Normal improvement 2nd time out could land him a share.
4th pick: #3 (Money in Action) (8-1) - Price play has some early speed and the rail is his for the taking at the break. May last for a minor award at projected long odds.
