Top pick: #6 (ACROSTIC) (3-1) - Home bred is stretching out around two-turns after rallying from close range to finish second here at this claiming tag going 5-furlongs on Jan. 7. It was a career best and trainer Roy Lerman has Castellano aboard for this attempt.
2nd pick: #1 (Lloyd Harbor) (7-2) - Mare is another that's stretching out in distance. Speed/stalker is in shape and has been competitive in five of her last six grass sprints. She has the rail and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Forest Funds) (5-2) - Filly doubles up in price, goes dirt to turf, and is trying a two-turn distance. Daughter of "Forestry" finished second when debuting here on the dirt going 7-furlongs for a $10.5K tag Jan. 28. She's bred to enjoy the grass and should factor in this spot.
4th pick: #2 (Ansiedad) (6-1) - The one thing you know about her is that the distance is not an issue. Stretch runner has finished second in two of her last three at this level and has improved overall since Lasix was added on Dec. 19.
