Top pick: #2 (PSYCHOTIC SUMMER) - Many of these are exiting the same race on January 19, which was a mile event for $15K maidens. This colt chased the pace and tired badly from the "half" home. Cuts-back in distance, drops in price, draws the rail, and Dominguez gives it another go.
2nd pick: #1a (Run From Hell) - Speedy runner opened a long lead last out going long and tired late to finish third. Previous race saw him finish second in a sprint (like today). I almost put him on top.
3rd pick: #7 (Battle Ready) - Much improved race on the Jan. 24, saw him race close-up, bid, and finish second . Race was his first in almost three months, and first at this price. Contender.
4th pick: #3 (Smarteralex) - He's finished evenly in his last pair and wiil drop to this $15K price-tag for the first time. Maybe for a small slice.
