Top pick: #3 (GRAY DAY LOVER) (3-1) - Lightly-raced grey gelding runs first off a Jamie Ness claim (a strong 32% winning angle). Four-year-old Canadian-bred ran evenly here sprinting the day he was claimed and Ness will stretch him out in distance odd a fast 5-furlong breeze at Tampa Bay Downs on March 1st.
2nd pick: #5 (Texas Tex) (5-2) - He's listed as the favorite and colt just missed here at this tag and trip on Jan. 20. He came back on Feb. 13 and disappointed as the heavy favorite going shorter and trainer Tim Hamm stretches him back out off a month's rest. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Put It Forward) (4-1) - Colt is another that's stretching out and last out on Feb. 14 he finished a length better than "Gray Day Lover" going 6-furlongs. Four-year-old by "Put It Back" is in the three-horse win mix.
