Top pick: #4 (ALL MY CHIPS) - Gelding by "Strong Hope" cost $170,000 and until recently was in the small New York division that trainer Nick Zito leaves there whils he winters in Florida. Speed/stalker is improving and finished second here at this price in his first start for trainer Jim McGreevy after being sent from Aqueduct. Can win this with a repeat of that effort.
2nd pick: #6 (Macho Tres) - Gelding by "Macho Uno" has been competitive in all but one of his 9 starts (all at this price-tag) and has finished second in his last pair. He's been freshened-up for almost two months by the Preciado barn and should be in this from gate to wire.
3rd pick: #7 (Fly Straight) - Jersey-bred ran third at this price and distance on Feb. 15 and it was his first start since Dec. 6 when he was a non-factor in a contest at the same price. Has some ability and should show whatever he has in this spot.
