Top pick: #1 (SUITCASE SIMPSON) - Longshot chased from a tough outside post here at this level March 23rd before tiring late. Race was his first in two months and he races today for a new trainer (Sam Aiton), a strong 27% with his new arrivals. Sophomore breaks from the rail and can win this at a big price.
2nd pick: #6 (Stylin For Pete) - Logical win candidate finished 2nd last out at this tag in his first race in 70 days and first for Mike Chambers. Barn wins at an incredible rate (47%) 2nd off a layoff. Likely heavy favorite would be no surprise.
3rd pick: #5 (O.K.Golden Jet) - Has speed/stalking ability and has been competitive in all four local starts since coming back from a 21 month layoff in Feb. Contender.
