Top pick: #2 (THE ELEVATOR) - Wired cheaper at Oaklawn on February 28, but he did it in solid time and has a fast work since shipping here. A repeat of that effort can lead to another win with an important recency edge on all.
2nd pick: #4 (Carson's Hawk) - Illinois-bred drops from state-bred allowances into an "open" $17,500 claimer. Working well for a good barn (Christine Janks), runner is coming back from an October layoff.
