Top pick: #8 (TOLAIR) (2-1) - Lightly raced home-bred has improved dramatically in both starts since racing evenly in his debut and comes into this off a very impressive maiden win here on Feb. 10. In a top barn (Jorge Navarro),he's given him five weeks to rest up, has worked him three times in March, and colt meets a weak field and draws the best post at this trip. Lots of things to like.
2nd pick: #7 (Five Star Prince) (5-1) - Price play has speed/stalking ability and ran well here at this level two back before tiring in his latest. With a patient ride 6-year-old can grab a share.
3rd pick: #5 (Broadway Blues) (6-1) - 3-year-old had no chance in his latest when the rider saddle slipped after gelding was bumped hard in the early stages. He's working sharply for this, presumably with the blinkers back on after they were taken off in his latest. Lightly raced, well-bred, and a stretch threat.
4th pick: #2 (How Convenient) (9-2) - He rallied to break his maiden here on Feb. 24 in his second back from a seven week freshening. Winning effort came in his second with lasix and this gelding has room for upside.
