Top pick: #5 (JAMBONIED) - Gelding by "Distorted Humor" raced evenly here in a grass-sprint twelve days ago and that was his first race back off a half-year's absence. Barn brings him back quickly, drops him into a claimer for the first time and switches him from turf to dirt. Jockey Allan Garcia takes the re-ride and this horse is spotted to win.
2nd pick: #2 (Afleet Pegasus) - Broke slowly here in his debut Jan. 8 facing tougher and his trainer (Nick Zito)drops him straight down to a $35K claimer. Colt cost $200K and they're already hanging out the "for sale" sign on him. He took some money in his debut and is spotted today where he can do some damage if he has any talent.
3rd pick: #4 (Won Fast Bullet) - Grey colt by "Red Bullet" is working very fast on the main track here for his debut and his trainer (Mike Mareina) is off to a fast start at this meet. Colt's drills are too good to ignore and his barns wins at 18% rate first time out.
