Top pick: #7 (KULE WIND) - Shortens-up a furlong after chasing the pace and tiring slightly at this level on Jan. 30. Previous race saw his just miss breaking his maiden ( a "nose"). The top pick.
2nd pick: #12 (Mellow Johnny) - Speedy gelding goes third off a two-month break, and has plenty of speed and a good post to use it from. Win threat.
3rd pick: #11 (Mr. Unitas) - Drops in half and cuts-back in distance. Improving, and his figures put him in this at the end, possibly at a square price.
4th pick: #1 (Golden Rush) - Tries conventional dirt for the first time after a pair of poor efforts at Turfway Park. Has a sharp local work on Feb. 22, and starts today for trainer Dave Fawkes, an 18% winning angle
