Top pick: #2 (ODIN) (4-1) - Lightly-raced gelding has been sharp in three straight and is moving from turf to dirt after a good looking maiden win here on the grass Feb. 16. He has room for upside and has run well on the dirt in the past.
2nd pick: #3 (Blackford) (9-2) - He's been competitive in four straight, with a pair of those coming here on the dirt. In shape, has a flexible style, and is in the win mix.
3rd pick: #5 (Synnin) (7-2) - Races first off a Doug O'Neill claim. Strong finisher just missed here on the grass last out and O'Neill took hi that day for $50K. Can factor if he handles the dirt.
4th pick: #8 (Storm Comin Thru) (8-1) - Also from the O'Neill barn. he's racing for the first time since late August. Has solid form and one of his two wine came on real dirt. Major factor if ready.
