Top pick: #3 (HOKUSAI) - Grey gelding lost all chance last out at the start when he was bumped heavily and never was able to get to the front. Apprentice Pedroza is off and Dave Cohen gets aboard. Spotted to win by trainer Bruce Levine and he's the top selection.
2nd pick: #8 (Vision of Magic) - On the shelf since late Nov., this 5yr.old has some early speed and has a bullet 3 furlong drill on Feb.16th that indicates he's ready to go. Capable at this level and a win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Wing Glider) - Much improved effort last out saw him break sharply, set a moderate pace, and tire in the last furlong to finish 2nd. He's come back with a sharp work since and a repeat of his latest makes him a threat.
