Top pick: #5 (MOBIUS) (4-1) - Price play catches a field where he's the controling speed and enters this off a very sharp win at this distance on April 2nd. Win earned him a high "fig" and it came in his second back from a 70 day freshening. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Bellagio Road) (9-2) - Since relocating here from Golden Gate Fieldss in Dec., gelding has gone (5-3-1-0) and in his lone poor start he was eliminated at the break. Speed/stalker has the rail and runs first off a reclaim by Angel Silva fter losing him for one start. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (Lee Creek) (7-2) - Very consistent sort is (16-4-3-7) over the past 16 1/2 months and last out won a race at this level going 6.5 furlongs March 29th. Back in shape following a 100 day freshening and he has a bullet half-mile work on April 14th.
4th pick: #6 (Seven Tuff) (2-1) - The probable favorite, he doesn't have any early speed but went (4-0-2-2) here late in 2012 after shipping from Assiniboia Downs. Strong finisher is working nicely for his first since Dec. 8 and should get a fast pace to rally into.
