Top pick: #7 (CITRON KID) (5-2) - The probable favorite, gelding by "Lemon Drop Kid" missed by a "neck" here at this level and distance on March 11th. He had to be sent hard from the rail in both local appearances and the move out in the gate is a big plus. Speed/stalker is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #8 (Dream Totem) (7-2) - Lightly-raced home-bred finished second here at this tag and trip March 10th. It was his first since late Dec, first for Bob Diodoro, and first on the grass. Factors today.
3rd pick: #1 (Runaway Cal) (3-1) - Veteran maiden has gone 7-0-1-5 on the local grass course and last out rallied to check-in 3rd, four back of "Kid." has the rail and the faster the pace, the better his chances.
4th pick: #9 (Confederate Cat) (6-1) - Improving gelding moves up in class, stretches out in distance, and goes dirt to turf. He just missed last out sprinting on the dirt and can impact at a square price.
5th pick: #2 (Autocrat) (8-1) - Lightly-raced gelding raced evenly last out and was six back of "Kid" and two back of "Cal." May improve enough to get a small slice at a big price.
