4 Bojan Drops into 25 claiming today. Last Race on the Slop leaves something to be wanted but returns to Asmussen and should be on the engine. I think he takes them wire to wire. Ramon takes the mount. Prolly over bet but is my top choice.

8 Zio Tony Last Race was a bit ambitious for him. Drops back to Claiming even though higher than what he was claimed at 2 starts ago. 15-1 ML seems like a gift for this horse who could surprise.

1 Keechi Bullet Has been running consistant and should sit a good trip.

I AIN'T NO SAINT has figs rising through 5 straight races and he's won two of his last three. Today, Jacobson places him back to a level where he could win again.

BOJAN has lost four straight as the fave and although he's dropping to his lowest-level ever figures to be plowed hard at the windows with Ramon up for Assman. You might want to cover but I don't see this guy as a lock.

Lump LEAP DAY comes off a victory with bottom claimers at 7 panels but cut a 1:11-flat split getting there and popping his best fig in a long, long time. He could be a reach but he likes the distance and he's 1/3/0 in 6 races over Big Sandy. Zacta diddle maybe.

ECONOMIC SWOON comes off a layup and two staright wins. Fits with these and is probably the horse to beat. Bullet speed tab on April 10th.

THE ZIPSTER loves Belmont and is 3/2/0 in 8 races over the main track. Five for 13 going 6 furlongs. Drops from a handicap and is a major player here.

I don't think we're going to see the faves roll at 40% with this meet.

Stan's got ALL going for him in the P3 and that horse is undefeated I believe. All of my dwindling marbles are with THE ZIPSTER.

My first action is the pistolbox with BOJAN and the Lump.

This is not an easy race.

ExBx: 4/5

Should let some stuff ride but I love the 50 cent P4 and dislike a couple favorites later on.

p4 1-2-3-4-6-7/1-4-5/2-3-8/7-10
$54 wager
