Top pick: #6 (BLAZING PRIZE) (5-2) - Hard-hitting veteran still brings a good game as an 8yo and comes into this off a near miss racing here at this level on Fe 2nd. Race was his best since returning from a 7 week break in late Dec and speed/stalker is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #2 (Sooner) (7-2) - He's the main speed and will be dropping back down and moving from the grass to the dirt. Oklahoma-bred was a gate-to-wire winner here in his previous start and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Run Smart One) (3-1) - Nine-time winner did so here facing weaker on Jan 19. he rallied from just off the pace and once again draws a ground saving post.
4th pick: #5 (Ashtyn Too) (4-1) - Gelding has back class to call upon and will be seeking his 3rd in a row while moving up a bit in price. Don't just dismiss.
