Top pick: #2 (PAPACOOLPAPACOOL) (2-1) - He's been sharp in all his grass races but one. He's gone 6-3-1-1 to date on the turf and won the 'Pasadena" stakes here March 21 going a mile. Strong finisher has trained well since and should love the 1 1/8th mile trip that most are trying for the first time. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Anytime Anyplace) (4-1) - Speedy colt set a pressured pace and held gamely to finish second, 1 1/2 lengths behind 'Papa" March 21. He's moving from the outside post to the rail, is working fast, and should be involved every step.
3rd pick: #5 (Rockin Robin) (6-1) - 'Robin' just held on here to break his maiden going a mile March 28. Well bred colt may need to try and rate in this spot if 'Anytime Anyplace' is intent on the lead.
4th pick: #7 (Ernest Shackleton) (12-1) - Longshot raced evenly while finishing fourth in the March 21 'Pasadena" Stakes. He was behind both 'Papa' and 'Anytime' that day, but he had a troubled break. May grab a share at a big price.
