Top pick: #4 (RISQUE GETAWAY) - Runs second off a Scott Lake claim and he finished a rallying third on Feb. 5 at this price in his first for the new barn. Effort was a career best and he'll shorten this 5-year-old up a bit in distance. Can take this with a trouble free trip.
2nd pick: #9 (Frappe La Rue) - Grey colt has sharp early speed and will be dropping back into a claimer after tiring facing tougher last out. His trainer (Patty Farro) is on a nice streak at this meet and this 4-year-old is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Dusterino) - Move up in price first off a Cathal Lynch claim on Jan. 30. Gelding finished a pace-pressing third running for $7500 the day he was claimed, and has come back with a bullet half-mile work nine days ago.
