( # 3) Abraaj - Logical selection just missed breaking maiden at this track and distance on Dec. 30. Expensive yearling ($450,000) has been given two months off since that race, but continues to work well for his return. Won't be a maiden for long even he doesn't get the job done today.

( # 1) Lhotse Quality - Claimed in Kentucky by Dick Dutrow- Sandy Goldfarb combination. Has undergone the "rehab" program under Dutrows care. Flashed good speed in first start before regressing and getting haltered second time out. Draws the rail and expect to see that early foot again.

The Plays: We're using these two in Daily Doubles with our top pick in race #1.
