Top pick: #1 (OH DADDY OH) (5-2) - Lightly-raced gelding has a high turn of early speed and is working fast for this attempt. Three-year-old set a quick pace and tired to run third here at this level on Feb. 27 and will be shortening up a 1/16th this afternoon.
2nd pick: #4 (Southern Sunrise) (8-5) - The morning-line favorite, very lightly raced 5-year-old hasn't raced since finishing second here at this level on Sept. 28. Working fast for his return, he's run well on this surface without winning 4-0-3-1 and is a strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (Crimson Giant) (5-1) - No-speed type has only one win in 47 starts 47-1-3-9 but enters in shape and can grab a share of this with a late rally.
