Top pick: #1 (DEMOGRAPHIC TREND) (5-2) - He's part of a Lou Linder Jr. trained entry and he has the same jockey listed on both halves. This gelding showed little facing tougher on Feb. 11, but it was his first in two months and he may have needed the effort. He takes a big drop in class and can win this with his best.
2nd pick: #6 (Perfect Wind) (6-1) - Stretch-out sprinter raced evenly here at this level going 6-furlongs on Feb. 8, but had won his previous race to clear the 3l condition. Dangerous and he'll be a square price.
3rd pick: #2 (Toninthirteen) (10-1) - Another stretch-out sprinter, he raced evenly after "hitting the gate" at the break to finish fourth here at this level going 6.5-furlongs on March 1st. Has the rail, fits with his best, and he's a big price.
4th pick: #3 (Horn Buckle) (3-1) - Nice effort on Feb. 11 saw him set/press a quick pace and hold gamely to finish second of nine, beaten just under a length racing at this level and distance. A repeat of it makes him a major player.
