Top pick: #1 (MUCHOS BESOS) (5-1) - Price play stretches out in distance after a solid second place finish here at this tag going 6.5-furlongs. Nice effort was his first off a Chuck Treece claim and a subsequent seven week freshening. Grey gelding has the rail, is fresh, and has won at this trip in the past.

2nd pick: #8 (Mensa Heat) (7-2) - Veteran was a winner here for half this tag on Feb. 13th in his best since coming off a seven month layoff in late Dec. He has back class and is a win candidate.

3rd pick: #5 (Big Wags) (4-1) - He exits the same last race as "Besos" and rallied to finish a close up fourth that day. Stretches out and must be left in the mix.

4th pick: #4 (Joe Carl) (5-1) - No speed type loves this course (16-4-5-3), and was reclaimed last out by Jack Carava. Capable, and this old "war horse" should get a solid pace to rally into.
