Top pick: #1 (HEAD HEART HOOF) - Drops into a claimer for the first time this afternoon. Has plenty of speed and draws the rail. New York-bred has been his "own worst enemy" in several of his starts, running rank and head-strong. Gets the "hustling" C.C. Lopez today.
2nd pick: #5 (Winning Greivance) - Tries winners for the first time off a smart maiden win on New Year's Day. Freshened-up by a great barn (Steve Asmussen), gelding was no secret in his debut delivering as the 6-5 favorite.
3rd pick: #3 (J T Moore) - Fields lone two-time winner has some speed and can also stalk if necessary. Latest, a win here on Feb. 16 was his best effort to date, and the best last out of any entered.
