Top pick: #5 (WASHINGTON'S RULES) (4-1) - He's one of a pair trained by Dave Jacobson and they race uncoupled. Lightly raced grey gelding was a winner here Feb 3rd facing similar and it was his first off a private trainer change.Stalker should get a nice pace set-up and I like his prospects.
2nd pick: #2 (Irish Lion) (7-2) - The 2nd of the Jacobson pair, he finished 3rd last out and "hung" a bit at "crunch" time.He has a similar running style to his barn-mate and Dave Cohen is back aboard.
3rd pick: #1 (Citizen Wells) (5-1) - Lightly raced and competitive sort finished 2nd here at this level on Jan 11th in his first race since late July. He's worked twice since and is a win threat.
4th pick: #7 (Regal Warrior) (4-1) - He makes his first start off a private trainer switch to Rudy Rodriguez( a 27% winning angle) and this veteran is trying to regain his form after returning from a 6 1/2 month layoff in October. Can factor, but needs to setp it up today.
