Top pick: #7 (SONG OF PIRATES) - Very lightly-raced (9-3-3-1) gelding by "Unbridled's Song" chased and had some traffic issues last out in a local stakes race before finishing fourth. Race was his first since Valentine's Day and he should be much fitter this afternoon. Lots of speed signed-on and he can win this from just off the top.
2nd pick: #4 (Bobadieu) - Hard-hitter chased a fast pace and held down the place spot in the $50K "Cable DelSol" stakes last out. Loves this distance (16-5-4-2) and veteran is a win threat this afternoon.
3rd pick: #1 (Johnny's Time) - In career-best shape at present he comes off a pair of sharp wins since coming back from a 2 1/2 month layoff. Likes to win (7 for 21) and he's three-for-four on this surface. A repeat of his latest puts him in this.
