Top pick: #7 (WOODY'S SHOW) (5-2) - Lightly-raced colt has early speed and is dropping back down after setting a pressured pace facing much tougher here at this distance Feb. 1. Pa.-bred draws a nice outside post and gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #5 (Lil Ricky) (3-1) - "Ricky" has finished second in two straight here facing weaker and speed/stalker did so at this trip last out. Improving and is a win candidate despite moving up in class.
3rd pick: #1 (Limestone Cowboy) (6-1) - Gelding runs second back off an eight week break and a trainer switch to Phil Aristone. He's finished second in two of his six starts and did so at Laurele at this tag Nov. 29. In the mix.
4th pick: #4 (Wishing Can Be Fun) (9-2) - He's cutting back in distance after finishing third here at this price going two-turns Jan. 25. Blinkers go on and colt is racing third back from a two month layoff.
