Top pick: #1 (PUNCTUAL JEFF ) - He's the type that can "run all day" and has finished strongly to be beaten narrowly whils finishing 2nd in three straigh at this level. This 10 furlong trip which all are trying for the first time makes him the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #2 (Arc Above) - Lightly raced, well-bred, and in a good barn, colt is getting better and last out at Keeneland he finished a rallying 2nd at this level. Dominguez is aboard for his local debut and this son of "Arch" is a threat.
3rd pick: #9 (Coach Royal) - He's (3-0-2-1) in his last thre grass races and just failed last out at Keeneland in a contest just short of this demanding distance. Working fine and he was only a 1/2 length back of "Jeff" when they met at Gulfstream Jan 21st.
4th pick: #6 (Grandpa Len) - He has fine early speed and last out he set the pace in a "switched" contest and held down the place spot. His early speed is a plus in a race filled with closing types.
