Top pick: #1 (WICKED HEAT) (5-2) - Lightly-raced gelding by "Unusual Heat" comes off a career best when he chased and held to run second here at this tag and trip on April 10th. It was his first since late January, he's worked well since, and moves from the #9 post to the rail. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (Roman Tizzy) (8-5) - The morning line favorite, he's finished second here in two straight facing $20K foes, the latest on March 22nd. Trainer Pete Eurton has worked him four times since and 5-year-old is an obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Stenoa) (2-1) - Grey gelding by "Dunkirk" is lightly raced and has early speed. When last in action, he set a pressured pace and held well to finish third here at this tag on March 9th. Another that is working fine and 3-year-old must be left in the mix.
