Top pick: #4 (STORMIN TRICK) (3-1) - Speedy colt has been freshened up since setting a swift pace and holding gamely to finish third here at this level going 6-furlongs March 8th. Working fast for this attempt, trainer Mike Puype will stretch him out to a mile for the first time.
2nd pick: #2 (Over Par) (7-2) - He rallied to finish fourth when facing open company going 'down the hill' here March 29th. Encouraged by that attempt, he was sent into a $200K dirt stakes April 4th. Reddam home bred ran evenly that afternoon, is back in with maidens, working fast, and should like this longer trip.
3rd pick: #7 (Ajac) (3-1) - Colt enters off a career best when finishing second here at this level and distance March 27th. Only his third back from a 15 1/2 month layoff and he's been working nicely for this assignment.
4th pick: #6 (Upbeat Tempo) (8-1) - Longshot has some early speed, is stretching out in distance, and moving up in class. Colt is racing first off a Ron Ellis claim (19%) and can factor at a big price.
