Top pick: #5 (SUDDEN RUMOR) (4-1) - He's taking a drop in class after an even effort here March 14 racing for a $25K tag. He dips under the price Brian Koriner claimed him for in late January and can beat these with his best.
2nd pick: #2 (Sir Barclay) (2-1) - Speedy sort takes the same drop in class as 'Sudden Rumor.' He's never before raced this low, and he was only beaten 2 1/2 lengths last out facing tougher.
3rd pick: #4 (Papa's Paisley) (4-1) - He was beaten a 'head' racing here at this tag Feb. 22nd. 4yo has a fine local record (9-3-2-0), and that last effort was his best overall since late Sept. Must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #6 (Coolington) (6-1) - Lightly raced, he runs first off a Pete Miller claim (18%). Grey gelding fits with his best, draws a nice post at this distance, and can factor at a square price.
