Top pick: #6 (COPPER BAY) (2-1) - He's been competitive in three straight at this level and ran third on Jan. 1 on this surface at this demanding 9 furlong trip. Working weel since and blinkers go on.
2nd pick: #8 (Just Fishin) (6-5) - The probable heavy favorite, he comes off a career best when finishing second here at this leval going a mile on Feb. 17. Home-bred is clearly improving and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Sumerian) (10-1) - The type that can "run all day" he raced very wide and evenly last out going a mile after breaking from a tough outside post. Runs second back from a three month layoff and he's a threat at a big price.
4th pick: #4 (Dynamize) (4-1) - "Long winded" runner cost $610K and this gelding by "Dynaformer" has been a major disappointment. Still, he's dangerous at a distance he was bred to love.
