Top pick: #3 (TURN ON THE PUMPS) (9-2) - He's always had ability, but for whatever reason 7yo has improved his overall game late in his career. Speed/stalker rallied to finish second here going a mile on April 4 facing state-bred allowance foes. He had gone 3-0-1-2 previous to that racing at this level and gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #6 (Lucky Views) (6-1) - Price play enters in career best form and has been razor sharp in his last three outings. Lightly raced 4yo defeated 'open' company here at this distance April 9 which made him the only horse entered with a previous win at this 1 1/8th mile trip.
3rd pick: #7 (Lindante) (8-1) - Strong finisher rallied to finish third here going a mile April 5. He was only a 'head' behind 'Turn on the Pumps' that day and has worked fast since. Home bred is in career best form.
4th pick: #5 (Unusually Green) (4-1) - No speed type is working fast locally for his first since March 13 and only his second since early Nov. Stretch runner will need a fast and/or contested pace for anything more than a minor award.
