Top pick: #1a (HANDSOME REWARD) - Once much classier runner finished second at this tag on January 8th in his second start back off 75-day layoff. Repeat of his latest would make him tough to beat.
2nd pick: #6 (Get Serious) - Speedy runner will start for a new trainer for the third consecutive time. Runs today for trainer Randi Persaud, and returns quickly off the claim (11 days). Win threat.
3rd pick: #3 (Sonny's the One) - He finished second last out with a clear trip and a strong late rally. Race was his best since last summer when he put together some solid starts.
