Top pick: #2 (SIDEWAYS VISION) (7-2) - Colt rallied to finish second here at this level and distance on Feb. 8 in his first race in two months. He had a tough outside post and a wide trip that day and moves to the rail for this attempt. Gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #3 (Forever Utopia) (3-1) - He finished three back of "Vision" on Feb. 8 in his first start off almost an eight week freshening, then ran second here in his lsteat. Speed/stalker has blinkers added and draws a nice post.
3rd pick: #5 (My Friend Keith) (2-1) - Home-bred by "Rock Hard Ten" exits the same Feb. 8 contest as bothy "Vision" and "Utopia" and was 2 1/2 back of the former and a long "neck" back of the latter. Nice debut and he had a very difficult post (12th of 12) that day. Must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #1a (Woke Up Tired) (7-2) - Colt by "Bernardini" cost $400K as a yearling at Saratoga and has gone 4-0-2-2 to date. One-run type fits, but was three back of "Forever Utopia" last out and needs to do better today.
