Top pick: #2 (MEADOW ROAD) - He's never run a bad race (9-1-4-3) and is (5-1-2-1) racing here on real dirt. Colt by "Dixie Union" was an impressive maiden winner here on Feb. 5 in his first start since last July when he was claimed by Dan Hendricks. 4-year-old came back with a near miss at this tag and trip March 9th in his first facing winners and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Storming Kentucky) - Golden Gate Fields shipper has excellent early speed and is in the annually high percentage barn of Steve Miyadi. Colt finished second when debuting at Fresno on real dirt last October and has been racing on "poly" since. Working very fast for his first race since March 4th, and they must like his chances as Bejarano is signed on.
