Top pick: #3 (WILBURN) - Triple Crown nominee was a decisive maiden winner when debuting here going 6.5 furlongs a month ago. $625,000 colt by "Bernardini" will stretch-out in distance and try winners, both for the first time. We'll find out a lot more about him today.
2nd pick: #5 (Special Kid) - He broke his maiden on this surface Feb. 3, and last out missed by less than a length when he ran 3rd at Sunland Park in a $100K stakes. Working fast since returning, and Bejaran (who won with him here) is back aloft.
3rd pick: #1 (Uncle Sam) - He impressed in his maiden win on this surface in late Dec., then tired after chasing a very fast pace in the G3 Sham Stakes 20 days later. Freshened-up since that time by Bob Baffer he's training fast and draws the rail. Speed threat on the front-end.
