Top pick: #6 (DELUXE BUS) - Claimed three back by trainer Gary Sherlock for $20,000, he's finished close up in a pair of sprints for the new barn. Last out he ran third racing for $22.5K and today takes a big drop in price and Sherlock will stretch him out in distance. The horse to beat.

2nd pick: #4 (King Cola) - Trainer Dave Hoffmans dropped this gelding down to this price for the first time on Feb. 3 and 4-year-old by "Lemon Drop Kid" finished second in a strong effort. He's since come back with a fine 5-furlong breeze on the Feb. 18 and is a win candidate in this spot.

3rd pick: #7 (Tiz Liberty) - Lightly-raced gelding by "Tiznow" drops to a new low in price following a fourth-place finish here at this trip running for $16,000 on Feb. 10. Runs third off a 70-day break and can factor at a nice price.
