Top pick: #1 (WHEELER GEORGE) (6-1) - Price play is racing off a private sale to owner/trainer Greg Tracy. This grey gelding was in sharp form early in this long meet, but hasn't been as good since returning from a seven-week break in Feb. A recent fine half-mile breeze, coupled with the rail post in this abbreviated sprint can lead to a big effort.
2nd pick: #5 (Truckin) (5-2) - The probable favorite, he's cutting back in distance after missing by a 'neck' here at this level going 6.5-furlongs March 28th. It was his best overall since Feb of 2014 and old-timer has a good record in short sprints 14-4-2-2. An obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Grant) (7-2) - Speedy gelding shortens up a furlong after setting a fast pace before tiring last out. The fastest from the gate, 5-year-old is dangerous at this 5-furlong distance.
4th pick: #2 (Lovinthelimelight) (3-1) - He set a quick and pressured pace before weakening in the final 1/16th to check in fourth of seven, beaten just over 2 lengths at this level going 5.5-furlongs March 31st. He needs to avoid an early duel with 'Grant' for a shot at the top prize.
