Top pick: #5 (LISTENTOTHEJUNKMAN) - He's a much better runner since switching to the barn of Jane Cibelli and this gelding has also displayed much better speed since the trainer change. Gelding has finished 2nd in his last pair, both at this price, and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #9 (Syzygy) - Dangerous rival ran evenly here in a tougher special weight contest on March 3rd and he'll drop into a claimer for the first time today. Colt by "Cozzene" finished 2nd in a pair of state-bred races in New York last year and he'll be tough in this spot.
3rd pick: #3 (Dark Vision) - He's improved noticeably since switching to the turf and last out he was only a neck back of "Junkman". Stalker should be close-up through-out and can contend again this afternoon.
