Top pick: #10 (TWOPUNCHESTOGO) - Speedball draws a tough post, but he still looks like he can clear these early. Tired last out in a race won by the impressive "Shoptate", who came back to take another. Drops into a "straight" claimer again, and the last time that happened he "whistled" at Delaware Park racing for $50K. The horse to catch and beat.
2nd pick: #2 (Gimmearoutine) - Drops off a good try against tougher on Feb. 20. Trainer Bob Barbara reaches out to Ramon Dominguez today and that indicates there "in it to win it."
3rd pick: #4 (Cloud Nine) - Runs first off a Dave Duggan claim and that scenario has produced four wins out of the last six starters for the barn. Speed/stalker fits here and looks like a legitimate win threat if the speed collapses.
