Top pick: #6 (STERLING WAGER) (3-1) - Gelding has been competitive in four of his five starts. Last out he finished a close up fourth at this tag going 5.5-furlongs March 28. 3yo had a wide trip and some traffic issues that afternoon, and he should enjoy this 7-furlong distance.
2nd pick: #3 (Bitter Heat) (12-1) - Longshot has been on the sidelines since Nov. 16th. He has early speed, but has disappointed since being claimed in late August. Working well and a threat at a big price if ready.
3rd pick: #1 (Settingthebigboysfree) (7-2) - He's finished second at this tag in back-to-back starts going a mile. Working well for his first since March 12, and he fits with these.
4th pick: #2 (Honey Fever) (4-1) - Lightly raced grey gelding has finished in both starts, 21 1/2 months apart. His latest came here at this tag March 26, and he's making back-to-back starts for the first time.
5th pick: #4 (Spirited Jacob) (10-1) - 4yo was bet down to 2-1 when debuting April 2. Away slowly that afternoon, he was never really involved. Blinkers go on and trainer Pete Miller wins at a 22% rate second time out.
