Top pick: #8 (SINCITYEDDIE) (2-1) - Claimed Jan. 21 by Dom Galluscio for $25K, he's freshened him up since and returns him today below the purchase price. Barn does well off the claim (20%) and the drop is not an unusual one.
2nd pick: #4 (Chics Palace) (5-1) - Debuting 4-year-old has a big bullet half-mile work in late January and trainer Dom Schettino (22% first out) has worked him four times since. Gelding meets a weak field and need not be much to factor today.
3rd pick: #2 (Hyman Roth) (3-1) - He drops down and cuts back in distance after tiring badly last out going two-turns facing tougher. Blinkers go on and this colt by "Street Boss" is in the three horse win mix.
4th pick: #5 (Having a Nice Time) (201) - Longshot raced evenly facing $12.5K "open" maidens just nine days ago in his first since March 21st of 2012. Could grab a minor award at a very big price.
