Top pick: #3 (SOME KINDA BOY) - He rallied to finish 3rd after breaking slowly when debuting here at this price Jan 3rd going 5 furlongs. Good small barn (Cody Axmaker) brings him back quickly and stretches him out a bit. Can take the opener with a "clean" getaway.
2nd pick: #1 (Seven Tuff) - Debuting gelding is already 5yos and probably isn't much, but he faces a very poor group overall. Some of his drills are sharp and he has the rail. Factors with an alert start.
3rd pick: #4 (Mr. Chuck) - He hasn't run since showing nothing in an allowance race at Arapahoe Park last June. Has a new trainer, runs in a claimer for the first time, and 2 of his 5 published works are on the "quick" side.
