Top pick: #7 (DEBATING) - He has a lot of back class to call upon and did well last out here to finish fourth at this price-tag after breaking poorly. Switches from one Repole Stable trainer (Bruce Brown) to another (Scott Lake) who wins at a 24% rate with new arrivals to his barn. The top choice.
2nd pick: #12 (Liger) - Nice effort last out came after he was re-united with his longtime trainer, Mike Petro. Veteran runner ran huis best race in awhile and draws a nice outside post for this 7-furlong distance. Win threat.
3rd pick: #9 (Cudjo) - He also has back class to call upon and he runs today fresh off a two month layoff following a claim by Peter Kazamias. New trainer had a great meet at the Meadowlands this past fall and was especially sharp with his claims. Dangerous rival.
