Top pick: #6 (DIRT TRACK DEMON) - Grey gelding by "Freud" runs first off a claim by trainer Greg DiPrima and a subsequent 7 week freshening. 4yr.old showed some talent last year on both turf and dirt and has an extremely fast work for this a week ago. Looks set for his best and he can upset the presumed favorite.
2nd pick: #4 (Flying Valentine) - The probable favorite finished a pace-setting 2nd here at this level going 5.5 furlongs on Feb.5th in his first start back off a 15 month absence. Good trainer (Mike Trombetta) has given him a month to recover and Ramon Dominguez is back aboard. He'd be no surprise, though at a very short price.
3rd pick: #1 (Token Sacrifice) - Has the rail and last out he chased the pace of Flying Valentine and tired in the final furlong to finish 3rd, beaten just under two lengths by that rival. Must be left in the final mix.
