Premium Pick

Top pick: #3 (VENTURA BAR) - Son of "Officer" takes a big drop today for trainer Dave Jacobson and he's also cutting him back from a mile to 6 furlongs. Colt's best race from a "figure" standpoint came in his only start on thios surface when he finished second last September. Spotted to win and he's the horse to beat.

2nd pick: #2 (D'Sauvage) - Another taking a drop and this New York-bred will be exiting state-bred allowance contests to run in an "open" $15K claimer. Gelding continues to race evenly and the drop should make him competitive today.

3rd pick: #9 (Up In Smoke) - Lightly-raced and speedy, he broke his maiden in impressive style at Aqueduct in late November, then finished a solid third a month later in his first facing winners. Working fast for his first race in four months and he's a win candidate.
