Top pick: #7 (CONCLAVE) (2-1) - Veteran gelding has an amazing record (24 for 59) and enters this on a 9 race winning streak. 9yo is a perfect 6 for 6 on this surface and is the choice to take another.
2nd pick: #8 (Champsville) (8-1) - Very speedy gelding drops in price and shortens up just a bit in distance. Dangerous if he clears early without a struggle.
3rd pick: #6 (Skimasco) (10-1) - He moves back in with thoroughbreds after 5 straight facing quarter-horses. One run type is capable at longer distances and has a blazing work on March 26. Can impact at a big price.
4th pick: #1 (Dave's Pacemaker) (15-1) - Longshot is from the same barn (Bob Diodoro) as "Conclave" and will be a big price. No speed type draws the rail and can rally into an expected quick pace to grab a share
