(# 6) CHERNOBYL'S HERO - Was deliberately taken back to rate on Feb. 22, and did well to finish second behind a daylight winner who rode the rail every step of the way. He is coming off of two career best efforts since equipped with Lasix, not exactly a plus, but he doesn't appear to be facing any killers either. Projects to sit further near the front, and any effort that mirrors his last two tries would be good enough to win this race on paper.

(# 7) IN THE SPOTLIGHT - Showed surprising speed on Feb 3, and ran a much better race. He reunites with Ponce, adds blinkers, and should revert to rating tactics with this bug on.

(# 5) STRIKING RIZZI - Was second best behind a dominant winner who controlled the pace from the outset. He ran an improved effort, second time without blinkers, although there was not much behind him while running second.

(# 1) BAYOU TIMBER - Exits the same race as the choice and adds the hood. He was one-paced throughout, and enjoyed a great trip without any visible excuse.
