Top pick: #4 (MY DREAM) - Much improved runner returns today from a long layoff (seven months) for trainer Ed Auwarter. Likes this surface (10-2-3-4) and has spent his entire career facing tougher. The horse to beat if he's ready to run.
2nd pick: #7 (Cudjo) - Runner is in shape and will drop down this afternoon to the lowest price he's ever raced for. He's two for five on this surface and his latest win came here at this distance on March 29. The main danger.
3rd pick: #1 (Arpleasure) - At one time he was a solid runner against better than these. He's slipped a lot the past 1/2 year, but beat weaker last out and he could be ready to go on a bit of a roll. Part of an entry and probably only one will go.
