Top pick: #3 (HORIZONBOUND) - Colt ships from Gulfstream where he raced evenly just 12 days ago racing for a $30K tag going 7.5 furlongs on the grass. High percentage trainer (Kirk Ziadie) brings him back quickly and makes some big changes today. Barn drops him way down in price, switches him from turf to dirt, and shortens him up to a sprint. 3-year-old meets a weak field and will be tough to beat.
2nd pick: #8 (Dubai Time) - Home-bred set the pace and tired to finish third here on Feb. 8 racing at this price going around two-turns. He's worked since and trainer Derek Ryan will cut him back in distance for this.
3rd pick: #5 (Marginalsaint) - Colt finished second when debuting here Jan. 14, but has rregressed in his last pair. 3-year-old raced close-up and tired to finish evenly last out at this trip and could impact this afternoon at a nice price.
