Top pick: #6 (URBAN FLIGHT) - Lightly-raced runner has been a consiatent performer during his career (7-1-2-1). He has several sharp tries at this condition and his second-place finish on Dec. 27, was his best to date. That effort was with "first time blinkers" and he's worked solidly since. The choice in a good betting race.
2nd pick: #9 (Leap Day) - Less than a length off the top pick last out after a wide trip that day. Post is of no help, but he has some of the best figures of all entered. Win contender.
3rd pick: #4 (Conquer the Fear) - Big race last November against open $15K foes at Philly Park saw him miss by a "nose" in his first race in 5 1/2 months. Effort was also his first for trainer John Morrison. Freshened-up since, he could be a factor.
4th pick: #10 (Drowning Bear) - Lightly raced and he'll be running for only the fourth time after being away for 11 months. Has some speed and trainer Kiaran McLaughlin will add blinkers today.
