Top pick: #6 (MCKAYLA'S WISH) (2-1) - Gelding enters this off a second-place finish here at this level and distance on March 9th and that ran his local record to (6-1-3-1). In a good barn (John Locke) and a repeat of his latest "figure" wins this.
2nd pick: #7 (Cape Finisterre) (5-2) - Veteran moves up in price off a pair of back-to-back local wins over cheaper. Latest was his best overall in a year and this 6-year-old draws a nice trouble free post for his flexible style.
3rd pick: #4 (Maine Ingredient) (7-2) - He runs third back from a two month break and showed an improved effort in his second off the rest. Dangerous with another slight move forward.
4th pick: #1 (Hammering Buckeye) (12-1) - Longshot has some early speed and brteaks from the rail. Veteran pressed and weakened slightly last out facing tougher and can factor against this crew at a big price.
