(# 10) Manhattan Moon - Gelding by Malibu Moon slides down the maiden claiming ladder from $25,000 to $10,000 in this six-furlong sprint. Has displayed enough speed in his four races to date to either try for the top or sit in good stalking position outside and clear of trouble. Not a lot of visible talent signed on so runner may go favored in here. Napravnik takes over the riding assignment and she and trainer Dale Capuano connect at 24% over the past 13 months.

(# 5) Jackie Wilson - Debut was on Jan 11 and runner came out wearing front bandages for first start. Finished third in small field (out of seven), at odds of 8-1. Has a three-furlong breeze since and any improvement would put him in the mix.

(# 3) Seattle Pegasus - Not very impressive so far, but cheap son of Fusaichi Pegasus has finished mid-pack several times without threatening. Will use him in exactas.

(# 's 4 & 7) Green Eggs & Slam and Am. Hit - For small exacta bottoms.

The Plays: Wager $2.00 trifecta "key": 10 over 3-4-5-7 = $24.00.
$1.00 trifecta part wheel: 10 over 3-4-5-7 over ALL = $32.00.
Total wager = $56.00.
