Top pick: #2 (ZIO TONY) - Lightly raced and well-bred colt started his career in the Pletcher barn and was claimed Feb. 6 by Dave Jacobson when four-year-old was dropped into a claimer for the first time. He was a winner that day in his first race off a 8 month layoff and has run well in two starts for the new barn, including a second-place finish a week ago racing for $12.5K. Barn brings him back quickly and he's the only member of this field with a previous win on this surface, as he broke his maiden on it a year ago. The top pick.
2nd pick: #4 (Pressure Point) - Very wide last out going two turns on the inner surface, gelding has finished second in two of three starts prior to that all at this level. One-run type should get a fast pace to rally into if all go that are entered. Stretch threat.
