Top pick: #6 (TALIGATOR) (9-2) - Price play is lightly raced, had fine early speed, and is working fast for his first start since Dec. 30. He's from the successful Ownen's family operation of the "Triple AAA Ranch," and their local trainer (Jim Frey) is 8-for-21 at this meet.
2nd pick: #3 (Justinspocketmoney) (3-1) - Colt has finished second in three of his four starts at this level and last out and one-run type ran second here in the mud on March 9th in first time blinkers. Obvious threat.
3rd pick: #5 (Iron Choo Choo ) (5-2) - Owned/bred/trained by Ron Chappell, gelding continues to race evenly, but drops back down for this and is a win candidate with his normal "figure" against this crew.
4th pick: #2 (Cactus Wildcat) (6-1) - He showed nothing last out, but I don't believe he cared for the "muddy" surface. He was competitive in his previous pair and can factor at a square price.
