Top pick: #1 (HYE I'M JACK) (5-2) - Speedy gelding is dropping in class after setting swift fractions before tiring late to finish fourth here April 4 for a $50K tag. He's worked fast since, draws the rail, and shortens up a furlong. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #9 (Soul Crusher) (2-1) - Speed/stalker has been competitive in all five starts to date. He rallied while wide to finish fourth here facing special weights April 18. Race was his first in 11-months and he probably needed the start. Trainer Gus Headley drops him down and replaces Kayla Stra with Ed Maldonado. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (Sharprado C S) (5-1) - He's racing first off a Pete Miller claim (15), and he had this horse gelded just four days ago. He has some early speed, and Miller will be adding blinkers.
4th pick: #3 (Cat From Iraq) (6-1) - Well backed in both starts, he's raced evenly in each. Home bred was away slowly in his debut, then raced very wide in his latest. Lightly raced 4yo can't be eliminated.
