Top pick: #8 (MR. MONDAY NIGHT) - Stalker draws the perfect post at this 6.5 furlong distance to track the speed and win this turning for home. His trainer (Patty Farro) will add blinkers today for the first time. The top choice.
2nd pick: #5 (Sabatino) - Improving colt broke his maiden here Feb. 1 then finished fourth at this level and distance in the slop in his first vs. winners. He raced between runners in that effort and should have an easier trip today.
3rd pick: #2 (Long Island Louie) - He finished third last out racing for $15K but in his previous start just failerd to hold on at this price. Speed/stalker has "off" track experience (4-1-1-1) and is a solid contender.
