Top pick: #1 (CHROMOSPHERE) - Runner by "Smart Strike" cost $170,000 and will be offered today for $10,000 as he returns from a 6 1/2 month layoff. Barn (Carlos Martin) is very good off of long layoffs and this "ridgling" draws the rail. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #2 (Dixielore) - Well-bet last out when he dropped into a claimer for the first time he raced wide while not being able to rally. Gets blinkers on and has a sharp work on March 4. Can contend at a square price.
3rd pick: #7 (Shamroge) - Gelding has raced well in all three starts on this surface this winter. Gelding has a nice stalking style and should have every chance turning for home if good enough.
