Top pick: #11 (THIS ONE'S FOR PHIL) - In-shape, loves this surface ( 4-3-0-0) and comes off a sharp win here on Jan. 30. Training fast he draws a great post for this one-turn mile distance. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #4 (Motovato) - He finished a troubled third last out in a stakes here going seven furlongs and this mile trip looks just right for him. Has a shot and at a very nice price.
3rd pick: #1 (Congressional Page ) - He finished third in the Hal's Hope" and this hard-hitter comes with his best each time he runs. Has the rail and can be placved anywhere. Exotic's contender.
4th pick: #10 (You and I Forever) - He finished a very game second to "Quality Road" in the "Hal's Hope" earlier in the meet and that runner went on to win the "Donn" in a record setting performance. One run type has a shot in the stretch.
