Top pick: #7 (TAKEN) - Lightly-raced and improving. He broke his maiden here on Jan. 3, and has been freshened-up since. He has a lot of room for upside, and believe he's better than these.
2nd pick: #3 (Little Parker) - Jersey-bred runner broke his maiden in early November at the Meadowlands just as their season was coming to an end. On the sidelines after that win, he finished second here on Jan. 4, at this level and distance in his first start back. Very dangerous.
3rd pick: #8 (Chester Digitation) - Speedy runner set the pace in the same race as "Parker" and tired late to finish four lengths behind that runner. Race was his second off a layoff, and he should run better today.
