Top pick: #7 (SLAM SLEW) - Speed/stalker drops into a career soft spot and trainer Jeff Bonde will race this 7-year-old with blinkers on for the first time. He's been competitive in three straight here this winter facing a bit tougher and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #2 (Itssultryinthecape) - He showed a lot of "grit" when winning here at this price on Feb. 2. Lightly raced 6-year-old gelding has good early speed, some back class, and will be involved today from gate to wire.
