Top pick: #7 (ROYAL TALE) (5-1) - Price play is one of two entered by trainer Sandi Gann, and the pair race uncoupled. Recent maiden winner did so here at this distance Jan. 19th. It was his first in almost two months, first for Gann, and first on the grass. He gets a slight edge in a tough race.
2nd pick: #6 (Prince Gallovic) (6-1) - The second of the Gann runners, he has the best early speed of this group, and is moving up in class after a near miss here facing weaker. It was his first on the grass, and he's a threat on the front end.
3rd pick: #1 (He's Very Rare) (3-1) - Once much classier type set a pressured and swift pace before weakening to be beaten two lengths. It was his first start in 30 1/2 months and has worked fast since. A strong win candidate if he avoids a 'bounce.'
4th pick: #4 (Blue Bomber) (7-2) - Lightly raced 4yo finished second, a length in front of "He's Very Rare' on Jan. 28th. A career best, he's worked fast since, and must be left in the mix.
