Top pick: #3 (SELF MADE MAN) - He finished second last out after falling back early and making a long sustained rally while very wide. Veteran has plenty of back class and meets a weaker field today than he run against in five starts here this winter. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #8 (McBurns) - Gelding has been competitive in all four starts here this winter when racing at this price. Stalker has exchanged decisions with "Man", but last out he was 3 lenghts back of him with no excuse. Can factor with his best.
3rd pick: #5 (Awesome Dreams) - He ran very poorly last out racing for $8000 in his first off a Tony Granitz claim for that price on Feb. 2. Barn brings him back in three weeks for this and drops him down to race for $5K for the first time. Factors in this spot.
