Top pick: #7 (TURN ON THE PUMPS) - Home-bred by "Kitten's Joy" has shown talent facing special weights on the turf and trainer Carla Gaines will drop him into a claimer for the first time. Gelding raced evenly last out going "down the hill" March 24th, his first since late July and has since come back with a pair of solid dirt works. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #4 (Confer) - He has some early speed and is working well for his first since Feb. 17. Trainer Brian Koriner scratched him out of yesterday's finale which was at this price going 7 furlongs to await this spot.
3rd pick: #2 (Sidepocket Kid) - No-speed type is (4-0-2-1) here this winter, and they've all come at this tag going two-turns. He's at the mercy of what the pace is like, and the faster the better for his late running style.
