Top pick: #8 (MAKINGFUNINTHESUN) (8-1) - Price play raced wide after a trouble break and was only beaten 1 1/2 lengths racing at this level and distance on Feb. 15th. Stalker draws outside of the speed, and can take this at a square price.

2nd pick: #4 (Tough to Catch) (3-1) - Speed/stalker exits the same last contest as "Makingfuninthesun," and was only beaten a "head" with a late rally from close range. He's been sharp in two straight, and is a strong win candidate with a repeat of either race.

3rd pick: #5 (Sam Jam) (5-1) - Nicely-bred gelding tries this 3l condition for the first time following a score here at this tag to clear the 2l level on Feb. 17th. Strong finisher would benefit greatly by a fast and/or contested pace.

4th pick: #2 (Mr McLintock) (8-1) - Veteran went winless last year (12-0-2-2), and has been on the sidelines since Oct. 20th. In a very good small barn (Paul Kaufmann), and leading rider Carreno is aboard. Working fine, and a factor at a square price if ready.
