Top pick: #3 (LOTS OF MAZEL) (5-1) - She raced evenly while wide facing tougher going 5.5 furlongs on March 3rd and trainer Dave Fawkes will drop her to a new low and send her a bit farther. I like her chances.
2nd pick: #6 (Decision to Run) (4-1) - Filly was claimed in early January for $16K by Terri Pompay and tired after setting the pace a month later in a two-turn grass contest with a $30K tag. Barn drops her under the purchase price today and will move her back to the dirt and shorten her up in distance.
3rd pick: #9 (Blondie Jo) (3-1) - Home-bred by "Concerto" isn't getting any better at this point, but has finished third twice in four starts at this tag. Can factor, especially if the pace is fast/and or contested.
4th pick: #10 (Windsor Garden) (8-1) - Filly has raced evenly in all six starts and last out checked-in 5th of 8, beaten 9 lengths racing at this distance and claiming tag.Draws a nice post and its 7lb apprentice Zayas off and Jeff Sanchez on. Price play.
