Top pick: #7 (LUCKY SHOT) (7-2) - He was a sharp maiden winner here on Jan. 20 in his first off a positive trainer change to Joan Scott. He earned the highest "figure" any of these has run and Scott brings him back quickly in his first facing winners.
2nd pick: #5 (Justforgetaboutit) (3-1) - He finished third here at this level going 7 furlongs on Jan. 13 in his first race in almost eight weeks, then raced evenly at Gulfstream just 10 days ago. Fits and is a stretch threat.
3rd pick: #1 (Sun Secret) (6-1) - Another recent maiden winner, he was claimed that Dec. 28 afternoon by Tom McCooey for $8000 and has been freshened up for the past six weeks. Has the rail, some early speed, and is improving.
4th pick: #4 (Classy Prayer) (9-2) - Gelding went gate-to-wire when breaking his maiden on Jan. 5 and is nicely spotted in his first facing winners. He should be involved every step.
