Top pick: #12 (P. BUCK) - He's been at this 2l condition since breaking his maiden here on Jan.23rd of 2010. 4yr.old gelding by "Trippi" has been competitive in most of his starts since then and finished 2nd at this level exactly a month ago. Speed/stalker draws a fine post for this distance and can win this from just off the pace.
2nd pick: #7 (Beauzen) - He's an improved runner since blinkers were added in Dec. at Calder and last out finished 3rd, beaten a neck here at this level. Race came 2nd off a short break and he must be left in win mix.
3rd pick: #10 (Honor Award) - Lightly raced gelding by "Double Honor" is improving with each start and last out was an easy maiden winner here Feb.17 in his 3rd back off a short layoff and a trainer switch to Tony Granitz. Win candidate right back.
4th pick: #3 (Zachary Cherryboy) - He broke his maiden at Aqueduct in late Nov. and was claimed by Scott Everett for $7500 eight days later in his first facing winners. Given almost three months off at that time, he was a non-factor here at this price in his return two weeks ago, but may have needed that outing. May impact at a square price on the quick return.
