Top pick: #3 (BYTHEBEAUTIFULSEA) - Gulfstream shipper races second off a 60 day layoff and will drop into a claimer and shorten-up in distance. One time much classier was a winner at Penn National when dropped to this price on Nov. 13 and his connections have him spotted here to take another.
2nd pick: #8 (Dalliance) - Obvious win candidate and the probable favorite has finished third in both races here this winter and in his second start off a Barb McBride claim she'll add blinkers today. Leading rider Centeno takes the re-ride and this colt would be no surprise.
3rd pick: #4 (Steal a Star) - He's won both local starts and has done so from both on and off the pace. Gelding has a bullet drill since his win on Jan. 16 and he fits at the tag and trip. Contender.
