Top pick: #6 (IN MY IMAGINATION) (3-1) - Cal.-bred finished second here at this tag on March 5th, then checked-in 4th of 7, beaten almost 5 lengths facing a bit tougher in his latest. Drops back down, Scott Stevens stays aboard, and 3-year-old meets a weak group.
2nd pick: #4 (Rocky Bar of Gold) (12-1) - The main speed, he tired badly going longer on the grass March 10th and that should help his stamina issues this afternoon. Cuts back in distance, moves back to the dirt, and he's a win candidate at a big price.
3rd pick: #7 (Kahului Bluff) (6-1) - He's also going turf to dirt and cutting back in distance. Gelding ran well when debuting on the dirt here at this tag 7 trip Jan. 28. Can impact at square odds.
4th pick: #3 (Nosetothegrindstone) (7-2) - One of two entered by trainer Jeff Metz and the pair race uncoupled. rare Oregon-bred raced both wide and evenly last out and was four back of "Imagination" at the finish. Can factor, but needs to do better.
