Top pick: #1 (WOKEUPONHOMEPLATE) - Gelding by "Grand Slam" ran a career best when he was beaten by a neck here at this price going 6.5 furlongs March 1st. Has the rail, stretches out a 1/16th, and can get his maiden win in this spot.
2nd pick: #10 (Platinum Sandy) - 3-year-old ships in from Gulfstream where he showed good early speed when debuting there a month ago. Gelding tired that afternoon and will drop in price for this attempt. He has a nice outside post at this 7-furlong trip and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #8 (Kokanee Kid) - Son of "Milwaukee Brew" ran evenly here in late January going two-turns on the turf for a $30K tag. Efort was his first off a 3 1/2 month layoff and he'll drop down in price, and switch to the dirt this afternoon. Colt will also run with blinkers on for the first time.
