Top pick: #4 (BROADWAY HAT) (6-5) - He just missed in a solid debut last May at Belmont, but did not race again until Dec 30th when he tired here after racing wide from a tough outside post on a day when the inside was best. Trainer Todd Pletcher brings him back in three weeks, drops him into a claimer, and he draws a much better starting slot for this attempt.
2nd pick: #3 (Hoboken Joe) (4-1) - Debuting colt is from the owner/trainer combo of Mike Dubb/Rudy Rodriguez and they've bee successful with all types over the past few years. Colt had a fine 5 furlong work at Belmont on Jan 9th and the barn wins at a 25% rtae first time out.
3rd pick: #2 (Sincityeddie) (5-2) - Nice debut saw him chase the pace while three wide and he held down the show spot while tiring. He breaks just off the rail and should be involved every step.
