Top pick: #1 (SOLITAIRE) - Very consistent runner finished "out of the money" last out for the first time in his career. He had a very rough trip in that one and is well spotted today by trainer Jim "007" Bond. Draws the hedge and he likes this 12 furlong trip.
2nd pick: #4 (Sudden War) - Victorious last out in a turf route, he's in the barn of Ken McPeek, and his runners have held their form all winter. Threat.
3rd pick: #2 (Tap Dancing) - Daws well in the gate and and he's coming off a smart looking maiden win last out on the grass at long odds. Working well since, lightly raced colt has room for more upside.
