Top pick: #7 (ALVITO) (5-2) - The probable favorite, he was a very easy winner here at this tag and distance on April 9th, then checked-in third of seven, beaten just over a length facing tougher last out. Drops back down and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (Atomic Orange Vet) (7-2) - Longshot drops down, goes turf to dirt, and he's beaten tougher than these in the past. Carmouche is back on the re-ride, and this gelding is a threat at a big price.
3rd pick: #3 (Sports Day) (5-1) - Since returning off a two month break in late Sept., son of "Tiznow" has gone (5-2-1-0) with both wins coming on this surface. He has a flexible style and will be very tough if he can repeat his latest figure.
4th pick: #6 (Legal Power) (7-2) - Florida shipper was an easy winner at Gulfstream when facing weaker on April 4th in his third back off a two month break. In shape, and he's won here in the past.
5th pick: #8 (Provedential Bid) (8-1) - Fits with his best and he has a good local record 11-2-3-1. Very wide in his last three starts, well-bred gelding can factor if he avoids that trip again today.
