Top pick: #4 (THANKS TO RON) - Much improved in his last two starts, gelding finished second here Feb. 15 going a mile and his connections will cut him back in distance a bit for this attempt. His only win and one of his best races ever came here at this trip last September when he broke his maiden. Has good early speed and should be in this right from the start. The top pick.
2nd pick: #5 (Pinch Hitter) - Races second off a Ramon Preciado claim and six days ago he chased and tired in a shorter race against a much tougher field. Barn brings him back quickly and stretches him out in distance. Almost made him the top selection.
