Top pick: #2 (GANDOLF) - 7yr.old gelding was a winner here racing for $10K on Jan.27th in his first off a Jamie Ness claim and last out he tired after chasing a solid pace running for $12,500. Barn drops him down to $5K for the first time and he's the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #8 (Keeping the Honor) - Has a lot of back class and finished 2nd here Jan.23rd running for $16K on the main-track, then last out he raced evenly on the grass at the same level. Trainer Greg Griffith drops him to the bottom for the first time and this 7yr.old has a sharp breeze since he last raced.
3rd pick: #3 (Andalusian) - Almost "white" gelding won here last week at this price facing slightly weaker 1Y foes and is brought back quickly by the barn of Chris Gatis. Competitive in all his starts at this $5K tag and he should be again today.
