Top pick: #8 (HENRY'S THUNDER) (4-1) - "Henry" ships in from Keeneland in shape and off a career best when he ran fourth there for a $20K tag on April 14th. He was very wide that day and was only beaten a bit over twso lengths. Working well since and the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #6 (In Cannone) (6-1) - Tampa shipper drops to a new low, goes turf to "poly," and he has some early speed. Price play is in a winning barn (Kate O'Connell) and should be involved every step at a square price.
3rd pick: #4 (Stroke) (3-1) - He tired last out at Keeneland after a slow getaway in what was his first race in 32 months. Nice to see him come back in three weeks for this and he's a good small barn (Tim Schuh). Win candidate.
4th pick: #1 (Brawler ) (2-1) - Gelding hasn't raced since early Nov. and will be dropping into a career soft spot off the layoff. Working fine, has the rail, and could factor if ready.
