TOP PICK #5 BAHAMA BEAU Virtually eliminated by a slow start last out but was going well at the wire. He finished a close 3rd in a similar spot two starts back and now makes his 3rd start off a layoff. This will also be his 3rd start since being reclaimed by trainer Joe Woodard who had lost him in his previous start. This colt breezed a much improved half mile on March 11 and is sitting on a big race. Top jock Jose Lezcano will take the mount.

Horses for Exacta or Trifecta Wagering: 10 SHERRILLSFORDPOSSE 5/1 Lost by a neck in fast time, finishing 8 lengths clear of the field. He had not run nearly that well before so he may regress off the effort. Still, if he can run another one like that the race will probably be for the place.

7 MARIGOT RED 7/2 Poorly placed going long in his last two, efforts that might have cost him his form. He beat a field of about this quality 3 starts back but the steep class drop raises a condition question. His victory was this barn's only win of the meet.

8 LUNAR DYNAMIC 8/1 4yo recorded his career best last time while showing much better late energy. Seems much improved since the recent layoff and could go even better this time.
