Top pick: #4 (PERFECT SET) (6-1) - Price play has had legitimate excuses in all three of his starts and last out also had a wide trip from a tough outside post. Draws better today and Bejarano gets aboard for the first time.
2nd pick: #11 (Cacau) (4-1) - He was heavily bet when debuting here going a mile on March 9th, but had a troubled start and tired after rushing up to chase the pace. Home-bred by "Unbridled's Song" has worked fast since and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (Buckleberry Grey) (7-2) - Another son of "Unbridled's Song," he's raced well in most of his turf starts and last out was beaten a length here at this level going "down the hill." Stretches back out and is in the win mix.
4th pick: #9 (Grand Giant) (4-1) - He tired after being sent hard last out from an inside post and should be much more relaxed today with a move out in the gate. He runs first off a Jack Van Berg claim and must be left in the mix.
5th pick: #7 (Far Rockaway) (20-1) - Longshot is in a winning barn (John Shirreffs)and showed improved speed in his second outing. He had a tough post that day, draws better for this, and is working fast.
