Top pick: #1 (B L'S NOISE) - Very consistent runner moves up in price off a sharp win here on Jan. 7 running for $10K. Race was his first off a two-month layoff and marked his third win in a row. Barn (Pete Walder) can keep them going for awhile once their in shape. The choice from the rail.
2nd pick: #5 (Miles and Miles) - Another moving up after winning here for $10,000 on Jan. 6. In the best shape of his life at present and he's a threat from mid-pack to take another.
3rd pick: #3 (Raymundo) - Consistent vs. cheaper, he'll be cutting-back off a series of good efforts going longer. He raced well in a pair last winter on this surface vs. tougher. Threat from "off the pace."
