Top pick: #1 (PARADISE DANCER) - One time stakes performer has slipped a bit but is more than capable of beating the likes of these. Drops off a very wide trip last out facing $16,000 opposition and speed/stalker draws the rail. The top pick, he has an outstanding record on "off" tracks (11-3-5-3).
2nd pick: #3 (Cherokee Focus) - Move up off a nice win on Feb. 21 facing weaker. Has very sharp early speed and also likes "wet" tracks (6-2-3-0). Threat on the front-end.
3rd pick: #5 (Light Sentence) - Speed/stalker finished second last out in his first race for Andy Carter. Effort was his best since Dec. of '08 and a repeat of it puts him in the win mix.
