Top pick: #1 (DUKE STREET KING) (4-1) - Price play comes off a solid 3rd place finish here at this level on Feb 9th. Race was his 2nd back off a 3 month layoff and trainer Kathy Walsh has put a pair of sharp half-mile works into him since. Has the rail and can take this at a square price.
2nd pick: #8 (Political Man) (3-1) - His lack of speed is apparent, but he's improved his position in three straight, the last pair coming on this surface. Dangerous, especially if the speed doesn't hold down the lane.
3rd pick: #3 (Get Moving) (5-1) - Colt stalked and tired when debuting here ina sprint facing tougher on Jan 21st and will drop in price and stretch out in distance in his 2nd appearance. Solid 2nd out barn (Carla Gaines 20%) and this colt should improve this afternoon.
4th pick: #4 (In Taylor's Honor) (5-1) - He has fine early speed and last out tired after being involved in a pace duel in his first in a claimer. He's worked twice since and Mike Smith "keeps the faith".
