Top pick: #4 (RED APACHE) (5-2) - Lightly-raced gelding drops to a new low and cuts back off a solid third-place finish going a mile for an $8000 tag facing "open" company. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #8 (Teepost) (5-1) - He moves off the rail after an even effort facing $3500 "open" company on Feb. 23. He had finished second in two of three previous starts at this level and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Saleen) (6-1) - Lightly-raced gelding broke his maiden last out in his first off a claim by Dave Van Winkle. Improving, and this 4yo by "Rocky Bar" is a win thteat.
4th pick: #2 (Senate Rules) (12-1) - One-paced type is not a win candidate but is capable of getting a small slice at a big price with just a bit of improvement.
