Top pick: #2 (HANDSUP MONEYDOWN) (3-1) - He enters in the best form of his career and will be moving up in class following a very sharp win here over mid-level starter-allowance foes on Feb 2. He's gone 6-3-2-1 since being claimed by Ramon Preciado in late October and strong finisher is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #8 (Time for Spring) (4-1) - He ran a career best when taking an entry-level allowance for fellow Pa.-breds on Dec. 30 in his first off a Mike Pino claim and a subsequent six week freshening. Draws well and he should get a fast pace to rally into.
3rd pick: #7 (Super Slam) (5-1) - Very lightly raced, he impressed when defeating weaker here on Feb. 1. It was his first back from a two month break and this 4-year-old by "Grand Slam" has room for up-side.
4th pick: #5 (Show Ya Luv) (5-1) - Gelding made a strong middlwe-move and held gamely to finish second here at this level on Feb. 11. Steady performer from trainer Patty Farro and Pa.-bred is a threat with a repeat of his latest.
