Top pick: #6 (STAYONIT) - Gelding by "Unbridled's Song" came here from California in late October and after a 70-day layoff has run well in a pair of sprints for his new trainer (Cathal Lynch). Barn sends him around two-turns this afternoon and he's the main speed. Looks set up by Lynch for a top try. The choice for the win.
2nd pick: #5 (Concerning Sutton) - Lightly-raced colt finished second here last fall in his first local start after coming here from California and was sent in for a seven-week freshening after that start. Return race here on Jan. 15 was poor but something minor may have caused that. Like the quick turnaround and he should run much better. One of a pair from trainer Phil Aristone and they'll race uncoupled.
3rd pick: #2 (Dollar Mountain) - The second of the Aristone duo has run well in all his local starts and has already proven competitive at this level. Contender at a short price.
