Top pick: #1 (GREEN SECRET) - Speedy grey gelding just missed at this level and distance Apr. 2 in his best start since last summer at Canterbury Downs in Minnesota. Seven-year-old has excellent early speed, draws an inside post, and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #3 (Forest Mouse) - Lightly-raced 3-year-old colt is consistent, has some back class, and won a stakes here a month ago in his first start ever on the grass. Training nicely since, he'll tackle older opposition for the first time in his career. Son of "Teton Forest" has good positional speed and can factor with a repeat of his latest effort.
3rd pick: #2 (Fox in the House) - Another of the Aker runners that races under the Gomez name this afternoon, and this veteran gelding loves the local turf course (9-4-3-0). Six-year-old doesn't have much speed, but almost always puts in a strong late rally. Stretch threat.
