Top pick: #1 (PULPIT'S EXPRESS) (5-2) - In the barn of leading trainer Dave Jacobson, he's stretching him back out in distance and dropping him down in class. Has the rail and can take this from just off the pace.
2nd pick: #4 (Rap d' Oro) (3-1) - He was a sharp winner here Feb. 21 in his first back from a 75-day freshening. Claimed that day by Gary Gullo for $12.5K, he brings him back quickly with a slight bump up in price. Contends right back.
3rd pick: #5 (Rockford) - Speedy sort is dropping in class and racing third off almost a three month layoff. Fits with his best and his early speed makes him a threat.
