4   Zulu 5/2   Is one of TODAY'S BEST BETS!
3   Cherry Wine 12/1   Gray rallied from far off the pace to finish a non-threatening fourth in the Rebel Stakes in his latest at Oaklawn in March when making his first start after a short break and has won two of four starts on dirt. Trainer Dale Romans wins with 15% of his runners second time off a layoff and with 11% of his starters in graded stakes. Son of Paddy O'Prado does not have much early speed but can be running into contention late with Corey Lanerie opting to remain aboard.
6   Brody's Cause 4/1   Winner of last year's Breeders' Futurity from off the pace here comes off a never threatening unplaced effort in the Tampa Bay Derby last month in his first outing since finishing third in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile. Son of Giant's Causeway is also trained by Dale Romans whose runners were going well at Gulfstream recently after a slow start to the meet. Three-year-old is surely better than his last effort although discouraging that previous rider Lanerie goes with barn's other runner.
7   Laoban 12/1   Son of last year's leading freshman sire Uncle Mo is still a maiden and took advantage of a speed favoring rail when holding on to finish second in the Gotham Stakes at Aqueduct in his latest last month. Three-year-old is trained by Eric Guillot who wins with 10% of his runners in graded stakes and dark bay will likely be sent to the early lead and may hang on for a share with Jose Lezcano in the irons.
