Top pick: #11 (PASS THE PICO) (4-1) - Well-bred 4yo has been sharp in two-straight facing weaker, and speed/stalker runs fresh off a Julio Canani claim. He moves him up in class, and gelding by "Exchange Rate" has a pair of sharp recent works.
2nd pick: #2 (Red Tesla) (3-1) - Very lightly raced 6yo hasn't run since late May, but is working very fast for his return. Trainer Bob Baffert (22% off of long layoffs) drops him to a new low and has him spotted where he could win with his best.
3rd pick: #9 (Congregationalist) (5-1) - Freshened up since Feb. 17th, gelding has some fast works on view, and speed/stalker retains Bejarano. 5yo should be involved every step.
4th pick: #10 (Tenkiller Kid) (6-1) - He exits a series of starts going longer and will be dropping in class and shortening up in real estate. A near bullet half-mile breeze on March 29 indicates a big effort is coming.
5th pick: #12 (Warren's Tyler S.) (20-1) - Not a strong win candidate, but longshot is capable of grabbing a small slice at a big price with one of his better efforts.
