Top pick: #2 (CHIEF LITTLE MAN) - Speed/stalker loves the local surface (9-6-0-2) and this particular distance (9-5-0-3). He's won 4 of his last 5, is in career best shape, and will be very tough to beat in this spot.
2nd pick: #6 (Dr J J) - Another who likes this surface (11-4-2-2), and he'll be racing 2nd off a long layoff in this spot. Seven-year-old chased a fast pace before tiring badly here Feb. 26 racing for $10K, which was his first start in nine months. Good barn (Ed Moger Jr.) brings him back quickly for this and drops him in half. Looks all set for a big effort.
