Top pick: #1 (COOLUSIVE) (8-5) - Colt ships from Gulfstream and runs off almost a seven week break. He's beaten tougher than these in the past, draws the rail, and trainer Michelle Nevin has been hot of late. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (Make a Fortune) (9-5) - He may be the main speed in this small field and comes off a second-place finish here at this level March 3rd. It was his first race in almost two months and this hard-hitting sort is a big win threat in what looks like a two-horse race on paper.
3rd pick: #4 (Polizano) (6-1) - Stalker enters in good form and is dropping down in class after finishing fourth here facing upper-level starter-allowance foes just seven days ago. Fits at this tag and has finished second in three straight at it. Stretch threat.
