Top pick: #7 (ISLAND CAT) (4-1) - Gelding moves off the rail after finishing third here at this level and distance on Feb. 24th. Well bet that afternoon and Carmouche is back on the re-ride of this speed/stalker.
2nd pick: #6 (Maxwell's Hammer) (6-1) - He's working sharply for his first start since Dec. 23rd. Well bred gelding is in a winning barn (Ramon Preciado), and he's finish second in his last three starts. A strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Elcinico) (9-2) - Improving sort rallied to finish second here on Feb. 24th. A career best, it came off a two month break, and this home bred is a major factor if he can repeat it.
4th pick: #3 (Storm Advisory) (8-1) - Blinkers go on this colt who has raced evenly here in his last pair. Can factor with his best, but believe the other three selections are more likely to win this.
