Top pick: #2 (HORNED FROG) (2-1) - Hard-hitting veteran has won 11 times overall, including nine times on the dirt. Strong finisher should get a fast pace to rally into, and can run them down turning for home.
2nd pick: #5 (He's So Proud) (8-5) - The probable favorite, he's won four in a row in gate-to-wire fashion, the latest three off an Angel Quiroz claim. In career best shape, and an obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Liberty Wing) (3-1) - He has some back class to call upon, and is dropping today to a new low in price. Working fast for his first since Dec. 21st and must be left in the mix.
