Top pick: #6 (FIRE WITH FIRE) - Improving colt raced wide last out at Gulfstream and tired slightly to finish fourth of 12 at this level in his first start with blinkers. Has the best dirt form of those that have run, and is the choice for the win, if as expected this race comes off the turf.
2nd pick: #8 (Magnificent Moon ) - Has some ability and proven dirt form and in his latest effort finished second at Aqueduct at this level going a mile. Improving sort can factor if this race is run on the dirt.
3rd pick: #10 (Code of Conduct) - Debuting son of "Tapit" has been in steady training at Palm Meadows in Florida since early Feb and most of the works are well above average. Three-year-old cost $250,000, races for a good barn (Chad Brown), and he names Dominguez for this colt's first outing.
4th pick: #3 (Volition) - Nicely bred gelding has some physical problems and will be racing for only the second time since Nov of 2009. Four-year-old by "A.P. Indy" has been in steady training at Keeneland since tiring on a sloppy track at Gulfstream Jan 21. Has some talent and can factor if the race is run on the dirt.
