Top pick: #3 (GERONI) - Talented runner makes his first stsrt in eight months and will do so for a new trainer (Chad Brown). Working well, and he's raced fine off of breaks in the past. Brown wins at a 14% rate with his new arrivals.
2nd pick: #7 (Bronze Medal) - Drops into a claimer for the first time in his career. More than capable of beating these, he'll need to be sharp off almost a three-month break.
3rd pick: #5 (Celtic Project) - Returns off a poor effort here on Jan. 1. That run followed an awesome win at Mountaineer Park last November in the slop, earning him the best figure that any here has ever run. Working well for this.
