Top pick: #5 (DANGER RANGER) (4-1) - He moves off the rail where I don't believe he was comfortable last out when running evenly. Gelding had won hi previous pair here at this tag and looks set for a big effort.
2nd pick: #6 (Blaze and Glory) (8-1) - Veteran tired badly last out facing tougher going longer. Much better spotted this afternoon and he's a win threat from off the pace.
3rd pick: #5 (Soapstone Prairie) (4-1) - Son of "Hard Spun" has a bit of back class on theses and was a winner here at this distance when dropped down to run for $3000 in his latest. He faces just a bit tougher today, but is a win threat right back.
4th pick: #2 (Last Minute Joe) (6-1) - Speed/stalker stretches back out to his favorite distance after showing nothing in a sprint facing tougher on Jan. 4. He should be involved from start-to-finish and it's a plus to see Scott Stevens still aboard.
