Top pick: #9 (READY OR NOT) - Geldings's lone poor effort came on the grass at Saratoga last August, and even that start was a solid one. He just missed (a nose) at Penn National on Feb. 18 racing for $25,000, his first race since that turf contest. Returns in 12 days for this, and he's the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #8 (Sir Dynamite) - He finished a strong second on Feb. 16 to a wire-to-wire winner racing for $30,000. Effort was his third off a five-month layoff, and the best of his career. Win contender.
3rd pick: #4 (Calculate) - He's training fast for his first start since November 1, when he broke his maiden here in impressive fashion. Lightly raced and improving.
