Top pick: #4 (TASHA'S COURAGE) (3-1) - He's been competitive in two of four here this winter and last out had a legitimate excuse when he had to be rushed up following a slow start on Feb. 17. Working fast for this and he gets a slight edge in a field with four solid contenders.
2nd pick: #6 (Mahogany Run) (7-2) - Gelding was pulled-up last out facing tougher going a mile on the grass. Claimed out of his debut by John Sadler for $50K, he drops him far below that price and switches him from turf to dirt.
3rd pick: #7 (No E Z Money) (3-1) - Nice debut here Feb. 15 saw him race a bit "rank" while finishing 6th of 9, beaten five lengths. Trainer Mike Puype has worked him three times since and drops him down a notch.
4th pick: #5 (Dehere is Gone) (3-1) - Speedy sort has finished fourth in all three outings and has been bet in each. He should be involved from start-to-finish.
