Top pick: #3 (JIMMY VEGAS) - Lightly-raced gelding finished a strong pace-setting second last out at this level and distance in his second start back off a seven-week freshening. Dominguez climbs aboard for the first time and this runner is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (Good Karma) - One-run type has shown steady improvement in his last several and won a starter-hdcp at this distance last out. Stretch threat today.
3rd pick: #1 (Dixie Night Out) - Another who's lightly raced and he exits a solid maiden win sprinting here on Feb. 4. Has the rail advantage as he tries winners, and a two-turn distance for the first time. Contender.
