Top pick: #6 (GET IT) (7-2) - Fair Grounds shipper raced wide and evenly there facing a bit tougher on Jan. 19 in his first in almost two months. Trainer Sam Breaux drops him into a career soft spot and colt meets a weak field.
2nd pick: #2 (Bank Thief) (15-1) - Longshot ran evenly while wide when debuting here at this tag and trip on Dec. 21. He gets a big trainer upgrade to Shane Wilson and the nee barn has him working well for his second attempt.
3rd pick: #10 (Break Seventy) (9-2) - Debuting gelding does so against a weak group and a good first out barn (Brett Brinkman 22%) has him working above average for his first start.
4th pick: #4 (Boston Brew) (12-1) - He showed some sneaky improvement last out and trainer Ron Ward appears to be racing this gelding into shape. Can factor at a big price with another move forward.
