Top pick: #5 (NEWFOUND GOLD) (3-1) - Veteran finished second here at this tag going six-furlongs on Feb. 21st in his second back from an 80 day layoff. Claimed that day by Tim Yakteen, he has him working fast, nicely spotted, and this 7yo loves middle distance racing (8-3-4-0).
2nd pick: #3 (Carbonite) (9-5) - The probable favorite, he goes turf to dirt and drops down to a new low in price. Most of his success has come on both "poly" and grass facing tougher, but he's capable on conventional dirt (7-2-1-1). Working nicely, and an obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Change of Plan) (3-1) - Speedy sort cuts back in distance after setting a quick & pressured pace last out before weakening to run third going a mile Feb. 27th. Claimed that day by Doug O'Neill for this $10K tag, gelding has a pair of sharp works since the barn switch, and fits on "figures."
