Top pick: #9 (DANNY OCEAN) (2-1) - Gelding is stretching back out in distance after finishing third, going 7-furlongs facing tougher March 3rd. He has a flexible style and just missed at this claiming price on Feb. 7. Gets a slight edge, but make sure you reverse your exactas.
2nd pick: #7 (Easy Ten) (8-1) - Home bred showed absolutely nothing in his local debut on March 3rd. It was his first since relocating from Santa Anita and trainer Keith Nations brings him back quickly and drops him way down in class. Price play.
3rd pick: #6 (Copley Square) (6-1) - Cheaper sort moves up in class after finishing second here facing weaker on Jan. 13. Gelding had a sharp work on March 1st and has a solid shot at a square price.
4th pick: #8 (Buddy's Tiz) (3) - He cost $400,000 and been a major bust. Still looking for his first win, trainer Bruce Levine drops him to a new low and stretches him out in his second back from a pair of layoffs. Should contend, but will be over-bet.
