Top pick: #7 (MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT) - Gelding ran a career best when winning here racing for a $25K on Jan. 1. His connections have him nicely spotted in this starter-allowance and a repeat of his latest takes another.
2nd pick: #4 (Arlo) - He was an easy winner at this level last out going 6.5 furlongs and he went wire-to-wire that afternoon. Much improved of late and a threat right back.
3rd pick: #9 (My Nicky) - He won here going a mile eight days ago racing for $12.5K and was claimed that afternoon by Lou Calderon for $12.5K. Effort came off a seven week break and the new barn turns him around quickly.
