Top pick: #5 (MAJESTIC PLAYER) (7-2) - New York invader finished second at Aqueduct when racing for a $12.5K tag on Jan. 18, then ran evenly facing New York-bred special weights in a follow up start on Feb. 23. Home-bred runs off a private trainer switch to Flint Stiles and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #4 (Page McKenney) (6-1) - Colt rallied to finish second here foing 6 furlongs in his local debut on March 7th and his connections will stretch him out around two-turns this evening. The quicker the pace, the better his chances.
3rd pick: #1 (Relentless Rush) (3-1) - Lightly-raced gelding has shown some ability in all three starts and he runs today off a seven week freshening. In a good barn (Mike Rogers) and 4-year-old by "Corinthian" draws the rail. Must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #3 (Profit Preferred) (6-1) - He's brought back in two weeks after rallying while wide to finish fourth at this tag, going 6 furlongs on March 27th. He ran well facing tougher going two-turns racing on the Woodbine "poly" last year and can factor this evening at a square price.
