Top pick: #5 (MOMENTUM INVESTOR) - Colt ships from Churchill where he just missed racing for a $15K tag Nov. 7. Effort came off a three month layoff and he was claimed by Federico Villafranco, whi is having a very good meet here (74-16-11-9). Colt by "Hard Spun" can win this if he repeats that performance.
2nd pick: #4 (Ardenhall) - Grey gelding hasn't been seen since he recovered from a poor start to finish second at Oaklawn Park on April 1st racing for $10,000. In the barn of Kelly Von Hemel and 3-year-old by "Macho Uno" is working fine for his return.
3rd pick: #3 (Ham Sammich) - Debuting colt has some excellent works showing and trainer Marty Lozano wins with all types. This field is a weak one for the level and he need not be much to factor first out.
