Top pick: #4 (MACH TWELVE) - Oaklawn invader is one of a pair entered by trainer Tony Dutrow and they'll race uncoupled. Son of "Rock Hard Ten" raced evenly in a pair of starts in Arkansas facing tougher and Triple Crown nominee will race in a claimer for the first time. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Completely Bear) - The second of the Dutrow pair also drops but he's already failed twice out of town racing for $40K. Working well at Philly Park for his first race since Feb. 21 and he's a win threat if he goes.
3rd pick: #6 (Smart Maneuver) - Freshened-up since late November when he tired at this price and distance on this surface. He trained in Florida this winter but did not race and has a solid drill since coming back north. Contender.
