Top pick: #1 (CAPTAIN HADLEY) (5-2) - The "Captain" had a very wide trip and ran a bit "rank" on Feb 9th racing for this tag. He moves to the rail and runs first off a Jerry Hollendorfer claim (21%). The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #2 (Louisthefifteenth) (15-1) - He's had wide posts in his last pair and also had some traffic issues in his latest. Longshot can be a factor at a big price as he breaks from a ground saving post.
3rd pick: #4 (Bro Derek) (6-1) - Blinkers go on in an attempt to get this "long winded" type to stay a bit closer in the early stages. Gelding has had trouble at the start in his last 5 outings, some of his own fault and some not.
4th pick: #10 (Dark Red) (4-1) - He drops down and goes turf to dirt for a good 2nd out barn (Carla Gaines 21%). Can factor on the class reduction.
5th pick: #6 (Hawkeye Declan) (10-1) - He takes a big drop, stretches out in distance, and will be making back to back starts for the first time. Good barn (John Sadler) and he'll be a big price.
