Top pick: #6 (RED DOCTOBER) - Grey colt rated along the rail, made a bid turnung for home, and weakened to finish third of nine, beaten 6 lengths racing at this price Jan. 22. Effort was encouraging and it came off a seven week freshening. Trainer Kate DeMasi has him making back to back starts for the first time and he moves off the rail.
2nd pick: #4 (Fivefourthreetwone) - Gelding has been competitive in all five starts and last out finished a length in front of "Doctober". Stalker fits, has more speed than most entered, and will be involved from start to finish. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #8 (Mr. Weaver) - He raced very wide and evenly in the same last race as the top two picks. Effort came off a two month break and trainer Susie Crowell will add blinkers for the first time. Can conteand at a nice price.
