Top pick: #4 (CARLOT COWBOY) (8-1) - Price play is dropping down a bit after an even fourth-place finish here at this distance facing a bit tougher April 17. Fits nicely with this group and one-run type had a quick half-mile breeze May 7th.
2nd pick: #5 (Dress Code) (9-5) - The morning line favorite, he's gone 4-2-2-0 here since late Feb. and is racing first off a Jack Carava claim (four for his last 12 with that angle). Speed/stalker has 13-lifetime wins and is an obvious threat at a short price.
3rd pick: #1 (Candy for Debbie) (6-1) - Old-timer ships down from Golden Gate Fields where he was competitive in all three starts earlier this year. Speed/stalker has the rail, drops a bit, and this gelding has won six times in the past on real dirt.
4th pick: #6 (The Mad Hungarian) (5-2) - He enters in good form and has done all of his best work right here 8-4-1-0. Another speed/stalker, he's racing first off a claim and is a threat if he holds his form.
