Top pick: #2 (GOLD CLOSE TO HOME) - Strong 2nd place finish last out at this tag and distance despite some traffic early. Draws a nice slot to stalk the presumed pace of the rail runner. Takes this late.
2nd pick: #1 (Run From Hell) - Speedy runner just failed to last on Feb.5th at this level sprinting. He stretches-out again, but he's run well in the past going long. "Hollywood" Herb McCauley is aboard after not getting many mounts at Gulfstream. The horse to catch.
3rd pick: #9 (Nolite Timere) - Starts are continuing to mount (29-0-5-5). This is a very poor group overall, and he should pass many who are in retreat mode around the far turn. Exotic's factor.
