Premium Pick

Top pick: #2 (TRIBAL JOURNEY) (7-2) - She's one of two entered by trainer Bernie Houghton, and the pair race uncoupled. Filly ships in from Penn National where she finished a close up third at this tag on Feb. 12th. It was her first in a claimer and a positive effort.

2nd pick: #7 (Flattering Tales) (9-2) - The second of the Houghton fillies, she raced evenly while wide when checking in fourth, almost 4 1/2 back of 'Tribal Journey' Feb. 12th. A useful debut, and trainer Houghton adds Lasix (four for his last 12). Barn does well second time out (20%), and veteran rider Dana Whitney is in for the ride.

3rd pick: #8 (Another Like You) (5-2) - The morning line favorite, she racing off a two month layoff, and is dropping into a claimer for the first time. She's been running evenly facing tougher and should factor on the class drop.

4th pick: #1 (Royal Six Shooter) (15-1) - Longshot has the rail and is trying a two-turn distance for the first time. Blinkers go on, and they may improve her enough to have her get a share at a big price.

5th pick: #4 (My Prayer) (10-1) - Laurel shipper was never involved when debuting there in a sprint facing special weight foes Jan. 29th. She had the 12-post that day, which is very tough for a first time starter. Trainer Tim Keefe drops her down, stretches her out, and jockey Russell is in for the mount.
