Top pick: #6 (WYNHURST) (5-1) - He tired after chasing a fast pace facing tougher here May 2nd. It was his first start since Jan 11 of 2014 and he's worked fast since. The Baffert barn brings him back quickly and drops him into a claimer for this attempt.
2nd pick: #4 (Uptown Rythem) (3-1) - Speed/stalker has been freshened up since March 15th. $220K son of 'Speightstown' finished second here that day at this level and is working both steadily and above average for this attempt.
3rd pick: #11 (Big Hat Charlie) (7-2) - Freshened up since late March, trainer Jeff Bonde switches him back to the dirt and drops him to a new low in class. Working fast and he must be left in the win mix.
4th pick: #9 (Southern Loyalty) (7-2) - Gelding has raced evenly in all three starts facing special weight foes. He's finished third in his last pair without threatening. The Desormeaux barn drops him into a claimer in his third back from a 10-month layoff.
5th pick: #8 (Bandido Too) (8-1) - He's gone 5-0-2-2 facing $30K opposition and moves up in class for this attempt. Stalker is working above average and retains Bejarano.
